ANGOLA-DANCE-SPORTS-CAPOIERA-LIFESTYLE


TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY CANDIDO MENDES --- Capoeira Master Manuel "Bola 8" (C, down) directs a practice session on Septenber 12, 2008, at Dom Bosco High School in Sambizanga, one of the poorest neighborhoods in Luanda. Father Stefano, an Italian priest who came to Angola five years ago, said he'd always believed capoeira was created in Brazil by descendents of African slaves who developed it to secretly practice martial arts in the guise of dance, so they could fight their way out of slavery. Slowly Stefano convinced parents that by practising capoeira, the children would keep away from crime while learning about health and discipline. AFP PHOTO/ FRANCISCO LEONG
