São Paulo’s Grupo de Capoeira Angola Rainha and José Geraldo Santos Souza were recently the focus of a story by Out Front titled, Capoeira: It’s About Love, Not War.

Speaking on two players in a roda:

The men are friends, but the game they play is much older than their friendship. It’s called capoeira, and it is a major part of Brazil’s cultural heritage.

The article is an enjoyable read, and it’s nice to see capoeira’s exposure continue to grow on its own terms through stories of personal relationships, folk history, and community.
