Capoeira began its international journey during the 1970’s when two important Mestres (Masters) Jelon Vieira and Acordeon went to live the US and share capoeira. Around the same time the capoeira group “Senzala” took their performance to Europe. As a result of these and many others pioneers of culture the art of capoeira has maintained its primitive roots while growing with a contemporary vision.
A true form of self-expresion, today capoeira attracts people from all walks of life.
