Background notes
Archive material and source history
Capoeira Marana formed in 2006 around Mestre Giba Marana, who plays berimbau and sings. The group includes Mestre Ninau on atabaque and Mestre Paulão on pandeiro, both also handling vocals. Their music draws directly from capoeira traditions and Afro-diasporic rhythms, with songs like 'Jogo de São Bento' and 'Histórico Negro' reflecting these roots.
They've released albums including 'Capoeira Marana' in 2006, 'Jogo de São Bento' in 2008, and 'Marana Roots' in 2020. Their work has sometimes drawn criticism about cultural appropriation and commercialization of capoeira's spiritual aspects, though the band describes their approach as respectful.
The song 'Jogo de São Bento' references the Afro-Brazilian deity São Bento and has become familiar in capoeira circles. Their performances have introduced these traditions to wider audiences, with 'Hino do Grupo Marana' representing their group identity.
