Capoeira Encounter in Paradise (Nicaragua)


From the capoeira folks in Central America:

Dear brothers & sisters:
Well, here we are on the island in a lake in Nicaragua, the only fresh water lake in the world that has sharks. We met up to do some capoeira. There were eighteen people from Honduras, two from Costa Rica, ten from Guatemala, and ten from Nicaragua. It was the first capoeira encounter in Central America, and in September, we will have the second encounter in Guatemala in another paradise-like place.

A big hug from your friend, Maloquinho



Thanks! Keep sending us your photos and event wrap-ups.

dear capoeiristas,
i'm very glad to hear that there is a capoeira angola movement in nicaragua. I'm living here in Nicaragua (Managua) since two weeks and I will stay for 2 years. I would like to join a capoeira angola group, or get to know someone who practices capoeira angola. Do you know anybody? Can you give me a contact?
Thanks a lot,
kind regards,
Barbara (Grupo Capoeira Angola Mae - Colongne, Germany)
