Capoeira Luanda New York

Capoeira Luanda New York Capoeira Luanda is an organization that practices, teaches, and preserves the Afro-Brazilian martial

Capoeira Luanda practices a style of Capoeira known as Capoeira Regional Contemporanea. This style is derived from movements and sequences developed by Mestre Bimba, as well as influences and evolutions of Capoeira from the founding Mestre of Capoeira Luanda. Capoeira Luanda was founded on April 6th, 2007, after a long process of research and study under the direction and guidance of Mestre Jelon

Vieira. Today, Capoeira Luanda has spread internationally with centers and academies in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Spain, France, Peru, Colombia, Italy, and Turkey. The root of the name Luanda is a homage to Mestre Eziquiel Martins, who founded the Grupo Luanda de Capoeira in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil in 1963. Another inspiration behind the name Luanda was meaning of the word Luanda in Yoruba language which means “the junction of the moon and the earth” and “Peace and imaginary land” in the dialect Bantu. Luanda is the capital of Angola and was one of the most important ports during the slave trade when Africans were taken to the Americas as chattel. Luanda is one of the cities in West Africa where Africans said the last good bye for those who never returned. It was the Africans from the slave trade that contributed to the richness of the African Culture in Brazil.

I wasn’t born with a great smile. But I have one now because of Dr. Glacendy Espinosa (aka Graduada Gaivota). I was born with horribly crooked teeth, and my bestie said she could help me with it. Well not only did she give me a beautiful smile, she is a GOLD sponsor of Energia em Queens. I am sure I am not the only one who she has helped! I love you my dear friend you deserve the best in life!!! Obrigada por tudo que você faz por esse arte que amamos: CAPOEIRA!
