Celebrating renewal and freedom as we remember "Juneteenth", the day in which the last of the slaves in the United States were freed from the plantations and ranches years after the Emancipation Proclaimation. We also remember our roots in Capoeir...

Capoeira: The Jogo de Angola from Luanda to Cyberspace, Volume Two (Capoeira)

Capoeira: The Jogo de Angola from Luanda to Cyberspace, Volume Two (Capoeira)

written by Gerard Taylor

Book Review by Dan Tres OMi

I almost missed the second volume of Capoeira: The Jogo de Angola from Luanda to Cyberspace. It was published a year ago. Ironically, I waited for this book but it somehow fell off the radar. While rummaging through the aisles of Borders book store with a 40% off coupon, I saw the word “Capoeira” poking out through some other books. I pulled it out and realized it… Continue

This past week, Beautiful Asiatic Earth learned that I used to teach Capoeira. She excitedly asked me to teach the babies at the Earth Appreciation Day this Sunday, June 24th, 2007… Continue

Most of all, I learned how imp… Continue

Captain Afri-Dominican – your regular mail carrier Pt. 2 & 3

Omi's note (again): on my other blog on myspace, this was broken up into two parts. thanks for your patience. This also appeared on http://selfra.blogspot.com and YES this is a true story. Big up to the mail carriers at Milan Station in Norfolk, Virginia.

About a week later, I was given the same route. It was warmer than usual. November's are usually a bit chilly in Virginia. This time it was almost summer. By the time I got towards the end of the route, the yards were filled with… Continue

Review by Dan Tres Omi

Historically,
there are several mysteries surrounding Capoeira. Much of the
background of Capoeira has been lost due to slavery and the destruction
of records kept on slavery in Brazil. Oral tradition has caused much
more debate between mestres and students alik… Continue

No doubt family. Are you an MC? You struck me as one. Or at least a b-boy or a graff artist or somethin'. I'm workin' on my album now... tell me when you're coming down to train again and I'll have a rough disc of some joints I got goin' so far.

Peace peace,
Martelo
