Background notes
Archive material and source history
Capoeira Brasil formed in 1998 in Salvador, led by Mestre Boca Rica. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2000, mixing capoeira rhythms with samba, reggae, and funk. Songs like 'Você Disse Um Dia' and 'La Lauê' show that blend.
In 2002, some traditional capoeira masters criticized the group for cultural appropriation, saying their modern take on the art form was disrespectful. Their lyrics about social issues like racism and poverty also drew criticism from conservative groups at the time.
They kept recording through the 2000s with albums like 'O Samba do Brasil' in 2004 and 'Aqui É Brasil' in 2008. Tracks such as 'Tava Na Beira do Mar' and 'Maculelê' continued their rhythmic approach. The core members included Mestre Boca Rica, Mestre Lua, Mestre Robé, and Mestre Waldir, all capoeira masters who sang and played instruments.
