Book : Ele não Joga Capoeira. Ele Faz Cafuné
He does not play capoeira, he does cafuné - stories from Mestre Bimba's academy 'brings together articles and souvenirs of the author about living in Mestre Bimba's capoeira academy. The feelings of everyday life, of the lessons and presentations, are present in the pages of this publication. Some aspects of the diversified Brazilian culture are unveiled throughout this work. Capoeira, an expression of the struggle of the black people and a weapon for the exit of the slave quarters in the period of slavery, and the capoeiristas, discriminated and persecuted, are approached with a critical eye, based on the author's recollections and studies on Mestre Bimba and his gym. After reviewing the history of Mestre Bimba and his academy, for example, showing aspects of his teachings, the place of classes and the repercussion of a marketing campaign carried out by him and his group in Soteropolitan newspapers, the author presents the readers with a Mestre's photo book.
Some aspects of the diversified Brazilian culture are unveiled throughout this work. Capoeira, an expression of the struggle of the black people and a weapon for the exit of the slave quarters in the period of slavery, and highly discriminated and persecuted capoeiristas, are approached with a critical eye, based on the author's recollections and studies on Mestre Bimba and his gym. Born in times of slavery and an essentially Brazilian art, capoeira was systematically crafted by Mestre Bimba in the 1920s and 1930s.
