Capoeira News Online

Brazil’s economic growth got a big boost this summer as Rio de Janeiro just recently hosted the 2016 Olympic Games, but a globalized economy often comes with a social and cultural cost as well.

Mestre Camisa and ABADÁ Capoeira are no stranger to the big stage, but they may have just performed for their biggest audience yet.

Scott Swan of NBC’s WTHR 13 in Indianapolis wrote a great piece giving an overview of capoeira and the city often touted as the mecca for the art, Salvador, Bahia.

For the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, North & South Carolina’s WYCW-TV 62 is making sure their audience gets a good sense of the spirit of Brazil, with the help of Cordão de Ouro’s Contra-Mestre Neguinho and his Upstate Capoeira group.

The worldwide focus this summer is also the hottest topic in capoeira: the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Arts and culture magazine VICE has lent its voice to the conversation, through its series Daily VICE.
