A capoeira photo shoot with Theo McInnes
A day with Theo McInnes was a spontaneous photoshoot day. I promised to get a little gang together and although I had confirmed with the man himself, who had booked a studio, arranged a team and at his end had everything in place. My end was just not sure, I had an idea what he was aiming to catch and invited the people I thought would be suitable. Two confirmed and I just knew that we needed two more, I confirmed and prayed that the other two would make it - I took a risk and it payed off.
You can find Theo's photos here www.theomcinnes.com

Capoeira is a spontaneous playful fighting art form that has been spreading the world in various forms - for us it remains a very interesting window into Brazilian culture, history and music. Anyone can learn you just have to want to.

Domingo Pau - Clave
Переглядів 266Рік тому
Domingo Pau when teaching a workshop or class often teaches his clapping clave. It's part of his method and ideology that dance students should have at least a little knowledge of music and contra tempo. It does involve first being able to say it and then say it and clap it, finally just clapping making some parts silence. I have seen that it also gives students a reason to teach each other and...

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! How can one hold the caxixi for it not to overpower the sound of the berimbau? I am still working on cleaning my notes but I find it hard to handle the caxixi. I know we are eventually supposed to be able to control it enough and add more rythm while playing.

    • @youarecapoeira
      @youarecapoeira 8 місяців тому

      Good question. What we should be considering is that we aren't playing only the berimbau but also the cixixi. If we hold the caxixi more horizontal and make sure we are using the alna and radius rotation and not the wrist it will help a lot. The two sounds of buzz on the wire and cixixi should be blended. I will make a little video about it. Thanks for comment

      @@youarecapoeira A capoeira surgiu no Brasil, como uma forma de resistência dos escravos trazidos da África na época colonial. Além de ser utilizada para defesa física, a capoeira foi uma forma de resguardar a identidade dos escravos africanos. Principalmente porque ela se consolidou no Quilombo dos Palmares. É difícil dizer quando o berimbau foi inventado, mas provavelmente se originou do arco primitivo, instrumento que já era tocado há cerca de 20 mil anos. Supõe-se que o berimbau de peito chegou ao Brasil com os primeiros escravos africanos, em 1538. Eu pesquisei no google, a capoeira fez parte da historia do Brasil, mais o berimbau realmente é africano.
