Wedding song for Rinoceronte and Dalila
Rinoceronte and Dalila (习枫 Xí Fèng; 杨絮 Yáng Xù) are a very dear couple to Capoeira Mandinga Shanghai. They are a very special pair of individuals, with broad smiles and great sense of humor who bring axé to every training and roda. They are also very committed and hard-working in their purpose of learning capoeira; Dalila had the Highest Training Attendance Rate of the year 2010!

“No Quintal da Minha Casa” Lyrics
Tava no quintal da minha casa
O menino me chamou pra vadiar
Eu no meu joguinho bem manero
Vou jogando bem ligeiro
Como o berimbau mandar
Coro
Tava no quintal da minha casa
O menino me chamou pra vadiar
Eu no meu joguinho bem manero
Vou jogando bem ligeiro
Como o berimbau mandar
Coro
Sua capoeira é ligeira
A minha é devagar
Coro
Sua capoeira é ligeira
A minha é devagar
Coro
Não jogue com tanta agonia
Por que nesta roda
Aqui não vai dar
Coro
Tava no quintal da minha casa
O menino me chamou pra vadiar
Eu no meu joguinho bem manero
Vou jogando bem ligeiro
Como o berimbau mandar

Berimbau Manual
Mestre Suassuna playing the berimbau
Magnificent display of how the berimbau is such a cool musical instrument.
1. Introduction
Originally brought to Brazil in the 1500′s by Bantu slaves from Africa and used to accompany the famous dance called capoeira (a sort of a martial art were two fighters are training while berimbau, pandeiro, atabaque and agogo bells play the rhythm).
The berimbau was also a means of communication used by slaves to prevent being understood by their masters and is considered a sacred instrument.
