Do you know Kioni's collection, A Pequena Mandingueira?
Kioni, A Pequena Mandingueira portrays the life of Kioni, a 12-year-old girl in a small African village. Using Capoeira songs as a base, Kioni's story blends the fundamentals and universe of Capoeira with cultural and traditional elements of Mozambique in Kioni's day-to-day adventures through her village and her world.
In a story in which situations and lessons are sung, and games and games are mixed with Capoeira, Kioni, A Pequena Mandingueira brings us a magical interpretation of the creation of different movements, sounds and flourishes of the body, praising Capoeira as the incredible art that she is, rescuing values of ancestral knowledge and the strengthening principles of sharing and friendship.
