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.

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.

The Capoeira was created in Bahia by African slaves as a way to defend themselves from abuse, a skill disguised as a pseudo-dance ritual to fool their masters. Today there are Capoeira schools all over Brazil and the world, but especially in Bahia, where slaves were first brought to America, as a way of expressing black pride and keeping their history and culture alive.
