Salve,
The 24h Roda was a success. I would like to thank all of you for taking on the challenge, and a special thanks goes to Capoeira Mandinga and Aruande, for the commitment, for the AXE and for holding the roda from start to finish.
In the words of Inst. Parafuzinho (Capoeira Aruande):
“It was the drive in all of us, the will to stand tall to the challenge and to work as a unit…not even…a family…from different, backgrounds, schools, cities, to speak the same dialect and to make something like that happen is simply beautiful!”
Thank you to the members of the following groups who participated in the event:
- Capoeira Mandinga (Buffalo and Rochester)
- Capoeira Aruande with Inst. Parafuzinho
- Filhos de Bimba with Prof. Estrelinha
- Capoeira Camara
- Capoeira Males
- Quizumba Capoeira
- Semente do Jogo de Angola
There are no words to describe the AXE.
Axe,
Prof. Kmelo



We enjoyed participating and learning from you during the Roda this weekend.
Please send me an email if you would like a copy of the photos we took (some great action shots!).
