His unmatched agility, skill, speed and bravery are repute throughout the world of capoeira. He's the reason I travelled for two days crammed into flatbad trucks across sand roads swamped with torrential rains and remote villages skirting the Brazilian desert to end up in a shanty town on the outskirts of Fortaleza. I then spent 3 days bussing around his favourite training haunts, places that sent Mestre Espirro wild with fury when he realised the danger I had apparently been in. It was an exhausting trip but this incredible capoeira showreel makes it all worthwhile. Narcelio will blow your mind! Music from Mestre Acordeons CD - Vamos Pedir o Axe and the KRAFTSMEN.

Mestre Poncianinho Almeida and Mestre Espirro Mirim play capoeira at Contra Mestre Papa Leguas's Batizado in Nottingham. Mestre Espirro is a real joker and a talented verbal dualist. You cant make it out but at the foot of the berimbau he sets the scene, singing to Mestre Poncianinho that he's going to get him and nobody's going to be able to save him, not even his father. It's incredible to see what happens with these two masters enter the Roda. Thanks to CM Papa for letting us put this clip up! [Mas+detalle]

Two combatants engage each other in a game of trickery, skill and acrobatic agility. At the head of the circle musicians control the tempo of the contest singing, playing drums and other instrument of African origin. Could this far-away Caribbean lookalike be a long-lost capoeira cousin? Does this offer us clues as to Capoeira's African origins? The similarity is nothing but striking! The video footage in this clip has been compiled from the Katherine Dunham Collection at the Library of Congress. Katherine Dunham, who passed away in May 2006, was a dancer, choreographer and researcher - a founding mother of African dance in American popular culture. She came across the Ag'Ya during a fieldwork expedition to the Caribbean and it inspired her to create an Ag'Ya dance performance back in the USA to popular acclaim. Click here to see an interview with Katherine Dunham speaking about the Ag'Ya. As in all cultural manifestations of African descent music, song, dance and spirituality form a unified whole. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of video recording in 1936. Therefore I super-imposed, albeit artificially, authentic Ladja (Danyme) music taken from Alan Lomax's 1962 Caribbean Voyages onto Dunham's footage. Alan Lomax was a pre-eminent and much loved American ethnomusicologist who traveled the world from the mills of the Scottish Isles to the Far East in his quest to record the sounds of life.

Banzay is an expert at the intricate acrobatics of Mestre Suassunnas Miudinho. You see how Banzay's acrobatics are circular in nature and not linear like gymanstics. This allows them to be performed in a tight space (the roda de capoeira) without crazy run-ups and departure from the game in hand. The roda is where two capoeiristas 'play capoeira' together. See my other videos for capoeira roda action. [Mas+detalle]
