Virgulino "Making this DVD has been an
effort of love, love of the spirit and power of
capoeira. Although it is but a small slice of the
capoeira universe, we hope it serves to show the
wonderful diversity of those who share it. Capoeira
can not be captured by a single voice or group, but
is reflective of the many personalities,
experiences, colors and moods of sound that
comprise the deep but elusive essence that is
capoeira." Produced and Directed by the
creators of
"Masters of
Capoeira", this DVD is sure
to set a new standard for all Capoeira videos on
the market today.
