"As a son of Bahia, he met several Capoeira Masters from Bahia, such as Samuel Querido de Deus and Onça Preta. He also influenced other people such as Ruth Landes from the USA, who was doing research in Bahia at the end of the thirties and took her to meet the Mestres e Terreiros. She returned to the US and published her book "City of Women" (later translated with the title: Cidade das Mulheres) in 1947 mentioning Capoeira.) Edison Carneiro has published several books, often linked to Bahia and its culture and history...". (Text from CM Rouxinol).
