Capoeira Social Project

From Brazil to Baltimore and beyond, the rhythm continues.

We had the honor of learning the art of making caxixis from Prof. Camaleã (ES) and Mestre Gato Preto (Guyane Française) during our time studying in Brazil. What was shared with us, we now pass forward.

These moments capture students from our NAF afterschool program alongside Baltimore City Public Schools youth, all learning not just how to make an instrument—but how to carry culture, history, and rhythm in their hands.

From Baltimore, MD to Floyd, VA and Ft. Myers, FL, this knowledge continues to travel, connect, and grow.
