04 Nov Black Consciousness & Zumbi dos Palmares

November 20 marks the anniversary of the death of Zumbi dos Palmares, the last leader of Quilombo dos Palmares, the largest community of escaped enslaved people in colonial Brazil.

This month reminds us to:
Reflect on the roots of Capoeira as a tool of resistance.

Acknowledge the ongoing fight against racism and inequality.

Celebrate Afro-Brazilian culture, music, and movement.

Empower new generations through education and art.

Capoeira is one of the most powerful expressions of this legacy — and it lives in every roda, every rhythm, and every step we take.
