Kids also play caopeira

Marcelo (seen here in white, performing a bananeira), is the son of Mestre Cobra Mansa and currently lives in London, but he visits Brighton regularly and is a key contributor to the Brighton Capoeira Angola Group.

Much like his father, he has a charged-up style of playing, which sometimes can be very fast, but always within the gingado and manha of true capoeira Angola.

Marcelo não é careta, não

We in Brighton are always grateful to have him around, as he teaches us special moves, gingados, tricks and expressions of the game. He also makes us laugh brings us great joy. Specially when he is chase mode... ...but that´s another story...
