Help Support Project Bantu’s 8th Annual STARTTS Youth Capoeira Angola Encounter

When Mestre Roxinho founded the Capoeira Angola Cultural Centre Australia, a not-for-profit association in Sydney, the goal was to “introduce, preserve and develop Capoeira Angola and Afro-Brazilian culture in its entire traditional, ritualistic and contextual form in Australia.” Now, for the 8th time, the group is preparing for their 8th annual Youth Capoeira Angola Encounter this November, under the banner of Project Bantu.

According to Mestre Roxinho, “Project Bantu is a movement through the mind to understand who you are.” Per the group’s website, it’s a community project that reaches young people of Aboriginal or refugee backgrounds who may have been exposed to violence and other struggles. Project Bantu is celebrating its 10th year in Australia and is asking for your support in funding this important event—and specifically, to help bring Mestre Augusto Januario from Brazil to Sydney.
