Get ready to meet one of ABADÁ Capoeira’s most sought-after global leaders: Mestrando Pretinho. Coming from Barra Mansa, RJ, Brazil, he will be this year’s Guest of Honor for the annual batizado week, October 16th-20th.
Mestrando Pretinho is an internationally renowned singer, songwriter, and musician, as well as a former champion of the ABADÁ Brazilian games. He has led ABADÁ-Capoeira Barra Mansa in the state of Rio de Janeiro for over 25 years, where several of his students have trained and won national and international ABADÁ-Capoeira titles, including our recent guest, Instrutora Bombom.
Mestrando Pretinho was introduced to Capoeira by his older brother at age nine. In 2017, Mestre Camisa awarded him the prestigious title of Mestrando.
ABADA-Capoeira San Francisco is honored to host Mestrando Pretinho for this special annual event and hope you'll join us.
