Organization Summary
The Brazilian Folkloric Capoeira Program is one of the organization’s central programs. The program provides the history, culture, music and movement of Brazilian Folkloric Capoeira. The program is taught by Sacramento based Brazilian Folkloric Capoeira Master-Mestre Caboclinho. Capoeira is a game of movements, music, acrobatics and theater.
The Brazilian Rhythms and Drum Project allows the community to experience the heartbeat of Brazilian Rhythms here in Sacramento. Participants learn rhythms of various Brazilian Drums from the Surdo to the timbale. The program is for youth, adults, seniors and no prior experience in rhythms is necessary. Brazilian Day Sacramento Street Festival Project aims to increase widespread exposure of diverse Brazilian Arts. Launched in 2013, the idea of the free festival was to involve a greater number of the Sacramento community in Brazilian folkloric arts. Each year the festival is themed to demonstrate a unique aspect of Brazilian folkloric arts.
