The Capoeira Talk Podcast

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Professora Nayla from Capoeira Batuque LA. Nayla runs the headquarters of Batuque and shares her journey in capoeira, her passion for the art, and the importance of building a strong team. She also talks about how her path into capoeira was quite different from most when she first started, and she opens up about her vision and goals for the future of capoeira.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with none other than Mestre Marcelo Finco for an in-depth conversation.Based in Athens, Marcelo shares his journey through capoeira, reflects on the old days, discusses the Capoeira Generation movement, and explores many other fascinating topics from his decades of experience.I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording this episode!

Part two of a great chat with Mestre Muito Tempo from LA. He talks about what it’s like to travel a lot, and how he finds himself again along the way.

I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Mestre Amen Santo. In this conversation, he shares how he first discovered capoeira and reflects on how the film Only the Strong came to be.

A conversation with none other than Mestre Recruta from UCA Hayward. We sat down for a follow-up to reflect on where we stand today, both in life and in capoeira. Recruta speaks about his search for new teaching methodologies, with a special focus on the musical side of capoeira, and shares inspiring stories about his mestre, Mestre Acordeon.

Mestre Amoleto is a capoeirista from Belgium of Turkish descent, with over 31 years of experience in capoeira. In this episode, he shares his journey in capoeira and offers insights into understanding Brazilian culture and the deeper roots of capoeira.

A little update about my absence here… I’ve been quite busy with other things lately and honestly didn’t realize the last episode was already over a year ago. Time really flies. But it’s time to get back to it, new conversations coming soon 👊🏾🔥
