Capoeira Angola is the mother art from which all other contemporary styles of Capoeira owe their origins. It is the most musically and ritually replete style, with a phenomenal range of interactive strategy, techniques, and attack and defensive movement combinations.
Techniques, so long as they are within the context of Capoeira Angola play, are only limited by the individual player's creativity and imagination.
Here are some perspectives and ideas that may prove insightful for understanding the game of Capoeira Angola:
*Music and song: The music in Capoeira Angola is vitally important to the art. The rhythms that are played establish the type of game that is to be played in the roda at that time. The other instruments in the bataria provide a supplemental background for the rhythms to unfold.
Singing is of vital importance for Capoeira. The many traditional songs in Capoeira Angola are the storehouse for oral history, and serve as a primary way to educate the player in the concepts and values that have developed in Capoeira Angola for hundreds of years.
