Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art as well as a cultural experience. Capoeira was created by African slaves in Brazil as a form of self-defense and cultural preservation against the oppressive slave owners. It is played in a roda (circle) by two capoeiristas who exchange a spontaneous combination of kicks, offensive moves, acrobatics and floor maneuvers. While the capoeiristas in the center of the roda engage in a dynamic and intriguing conversation, others forming the roda sing in chorus and clap to the rhythm played on the berimbau, the stringed bow-like instrument that leads the roda. The atabaque, pandeiro and agogo accompany the berimbau.

Mestre Papiba began training at the age of 16. He arrived in Santa Cruz in 1992 where he began his own chapter of Raizes do Brazil. Raizes do Brazil Capoeira, Santa Cruz now offers classes five days a week for adults, teens and children.
