- MESTRE PAULO BATUTAMESTRE PAULO BATUTA Paulo Lima, better known in the Capoeira community as Mestre Paulo Batuta, first experienced Capoeira in 1985 in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. He began training with the group Capoeira Regional Baiana, under Mestre Milton. In 1990, the school was transferred over to Mestre Cicero and his academy, Capoeira Ritmo Brasil. This school is now better known as Cordão de Ouro, Campinas, a name that reflects a lineage tracing from Mestre Cicero, to the founder of Cordão de Ouro, est. 1967, Mestre Suassuna. Mestre Suassuna trained with various groups including those of the Grand Masters and pioneers in the history of Capoeira, Mestre Bimba and Mestre Pastinha.

- CAPOEIRA STYLES & GAMESCAPOEIRA STYLES and GAMES The Capoeira practiced throughout the world today finds its roots in two traditional styles developed in Brazil, Capoeira Angola and Capoeira Regional. Capoeira Angola is the earliest form of Capoeira. The most famous Angola master was Mestre Pastinha (1889-1981). It is normally played close to the ground and the rhythm of the music is slower. Traditionally, the bateria of an Angola roda has 3 berimbaus, (one gunga, one medio, and one viola), all of which play different rhythms. There are also 2 pandeiros, and an atabaque. The roda begins with a ladainha, a song that tells a story delivering a message. Players begin the games once the ladainha is over. Capoeira Regional was created by Mestre Bimba (1900-1974), in Salvador, Bahia. The movements are more upright and are played in a medium to fast-paced rhythm. The bateria consists of one berimbau and two pandeiros. Mestre Bimba significantly changed how society viewed Capoeira. He promoted its cultural value, performing for the governor of Bahia and the president of Brazil. In the 1930s, because of the influence of Mestre Bimba, the law that outlawed Capoeira since 1890 was reversed. Miudinho is a type of game developed by Mestre…
