Capoeira is a playable and ritualized game, which combines elements of dancing, fight and music, while stressing interaction between the two players, the musicians and observers. Capoeira has its roots in Central and West African cultures that were brought to Brazil through the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The most important instrument is the berimbau which is a one-stringed instrument which is usually made from a piece of berimba wood, native to Brazil, a steel wire from a car or truck tire, and a calabash gourd as a resonator. It produces a very distinctive sound that practitioners of capoeira recognize and respond to. This album is a project from V12Music. It is a mix of world genres and elements of Capoeira. It was produced in the end of 2009 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and released in january 2010. V12 Music is a Record Label from Rio de Janeiro.
