Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the interconnectedness of Capoeira and Candomblé, this book delves into their origins as expressions of African heritage in Brazil. Capoeira, a vibrant blend of music, dance, and sport, emerged from the creativity of African slaves, while Candomblé represents a fusion of Catholic and African spiritual practices. Despite historical suppression, both have evolved and gained popularity across social classes in Brazil and have now reached audiences in North America and Europe, reflecting a rich cultural legacy.
