Here you have a pic that I find in Google there is the capoeiristas and the berimbaus players, that instrument is a stik with a wire and a half coconut that hold in the stomach and play rasping the wire with a coin

7+++++++++++++++ wonderful capoeira pic, congrats and God bless you
What's capoeira?
At first glance, capoeira may appear to be a dance between two people, gracefully combining movements to the beat of and orchestra of berimbaus, atabaques, pandeiros and crescendoing voices. Suddenly, the dance turns agressive, and skilled capoeiristas exchange kicks, throws, and daring acrobatic maneuvers with both beautiful grace and deadly accuracy.
Capoeira is more than a martial art, more than a dance. It is a way of life. It combines elements of fighting, dancing, singing and instrumentation into a unique cultural experience that is expressed in an amazing physical and spiritual space. Its origins are embedded in African slave history of the 1800's Brazil. The art form arose from the pressures of colonialism and oppresion as slaves disguised a form of self-defence in the charade of a dance.
Today, capoeira thrives in its history and philosophy, as it continues to promote awareness of oppression and its symbolic resistance against it. Gingarte Capoeira shares in this rich tradition and strives to commemorate its history and explore the boundaries of the art.
God bless you

Paul, as I understand it, Cordão de Ouro is a sort of choreographic martial art involving kicking, feinting, tumbling. Brazilian, I think. It's very rhythmic and fun to watch. This was my first experience with it, but it seems quite fashionable these days. There are a few schools and many classes available in Paris. If you want to sign up, let me know, and I'll put you in touch . . . ;-)
