Using as basic movements this dance the Capoeira Angola evolved as movements of self-defence for the slaves – movements that were very well hidden within the dance movements. There was as well a period of time in which the Capoeira became a street fight. Capoerista groups were fighting among each other and against the Government. In the middle of the 19th century Capoeira was forbidden to practice since the year 1937. In the 1920's and 30's the first academies were founded. Mestre Bimba created the "Capoeira regional", a very acrobatic and fast style, wihle Mestre Pastinha is considered the father of "Capoeira angola", a more traditional and ritual style. Capoeira is played in the "roda", a circle which is formed by the musicians and other capoeiristas. Two capoeiristas start the "jogo" (play) which can be understood as a form of dialogue of offensive and defensive movements. A characteristic element of capoeira angola is the "malicia", a way to fool the opponent through fints or distractions. Each play of capoeira is individual and expresses attitude and experience of the players. Music in Capoeira angola Music is a fundamental element of the Capoeira. The basic instrument is the berimbau, that defines the rhythm and the type of game played. The berimbau is made of an arc of wood with a stainless steel string where the sound is amplified by a cabaça (natural amplifier made out of a sort of pumpkin shell). Traditionally in the Capoeira Angola game are used three types of berimbaus (Gunga, Medio and Viola). Berimbaus are accompanied by other afro-brasilian instruments such as pandeiros, tambor, agogô and reco-reco. At the beginning of the game is played, with the instruments and sang, a ladainha, a story that ends with the salutation to God, to the big mestres and to the Capoeira. The game starts and is accompanied by the corridos, where a solo singer sings short phrases alternated with the chorus of capoeristas. Abelha negra (Ladainha) ...
