Salve

The atmosphere was like in Brazil: Traditional Brazilian carnival music, people dancing to pagode, forro and axe music, caipirinhas (the Brazilian national drink) being served in huge quantities and Brazilian samba girls dancing on stage in their beautiful sexy costumes…

It showed the international carnival crowd another tradition of Brazilian life and culture. Amidst all these traditional elements and presentations, there is certainly one cultural aspect which should not be omitted, and that is CAPOEIRA – the cultural heritage of Brazil, a sport which shows a great deal of Brazilian culture and history, a mixture of martial art, dance and music.

The performance was presented by Grupo Capoeira Mandinga, the only capoeira group in Shanghai. The space was limited, the “roda (playing circle)” small and tight, but with the berimbau (traditional one-string music instrument) leading the rhythm and songs for 20 capoeiristas, and a cheering international crowd, the atmosphere was energetic and it was the perfect time to show this beautiful Brazilian art form.

The capoeiristas played and showed all the art’s acrobatic “movimentos”, beautiful “golpes” and rhythmic “gingas”. The mixtures make the beauty of the game, and so it was exciting to see the different styles of the capoeiristas. Some impressed the crowd with radical acrobatic maneuvers, some played a smooth and stylish slow game, and some performed with many kicks and fighting movements, always controlled in order not to harm the opponent but forcing him/her to defend or launch a counterattack.

The show lasted for about 15 minutes and impressed upon everyone just how much this Brazilian cultural heritage has spread all over the world – even to Shanghai.

On the 18th of March 2010, after years of managing their activities from their home, the non-profit-organisation for environmental protection Greenlife NPO celebrated the opening ceremony of their new office in Luwan District, Shanghai. Capoeira Mandinga Shanghai took part in the set of performances to entertain the guests, which included Chinese traditional dancing, contemporary dancing, a comedian show, and a couple of music performances.

Over ten capoeristas displayed their kicking, singing and percussion abilities for a crowd of more than 250 people. Most of the audience −mainly Chinese and Japanese− wasn’t familiar with the art, but after a couple of minutes of uncertainty on their faces, they soon grasped the fun of the game and the rhythm of the music, then the clapping and cheering spread in the hall. The climax of the show came when Guerreiro went upside down in a solid bananera, that provoked a wave of excited gasping. The acrobatic position and his upper body −lush with masculinity and suddenly unveiled by the fall of his T-shirt− were equally compelling. Sushi delighted us with a flash come back from Japan appearing just before the show to treat us with his neat technique. The audience didn’t notice, but Pombinha could not overlook his change in shape since he left the group.

The host of the ceremony, Greenlife NPO, is in an environmental protection organisation with a very definite mission: fighting the fast spreading desertification in China. It was founded in Japan by a Shanghainese lady, who’s gradually becoming a much admired and awarded personality: Yi Jiefang. The story of how she came to start such an enterprise is a very moving one. She was a middle-class immigrant working mother in Japan when she lost her son in a motocycle accident when he was going to university. She lost her most precious thing in life. She didn’t wish to live, until she found a new reason for it: fulfilling her son’s wish in life; stopping the dreadful sandstorms that swiped his motherland by planting a vast extension of trees on the desert of Inner Mongolia.

Yi Jiefang managed to turn all her grief into the fuel to undertake a seemingly impossible mission, and after six years of great struggle, she has already managed to plant half a million trees in the Hure banner, Tongliao prefecture, in Inner Mongolia. The organisation estimates that they will reach a million trees −the number of trees originally agreed with the local government− next month (April 2010) thanks to the support achieved in recent years by some government organisations and volunteers from all over China and beyond.

The participation in the opening ceremony of Greenlife NPO’s new office has been a opportunity for Capoeira Mandinga Shanghai to somehow support the much needed environmental protection activities of the organisation and, at the same time, has given the group the chance to reach a large Chinese audience. Capoeira Mandinga Shanghai, in its determination to spread and promote Capoeira culture in China, has approached a bit more of the Chinese community.

Yi Jiefang in the name of Greenlife NPO (www.npo-greenlife.org) sends her thanks to all the capoeristas who warmed up the event with good entertainment and a little spice. We are also thankful to her, for her efforts in preserving our environment and being so generous with her motherly love.
