MarAzul’s Traditional Friday Roda, Sexta do Axé, is back again for 2012!

With plenty of music, great games and lots of axé, MarAzul’s capoeira roda is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the week.

Special guests:

On the last Friday of every month, we will have the presence of a special guest – giving recognition to and valuing the contributions of various Capoeira masters and teachers in London that are supporting and promoting the integration between various capoeira groups and capoeiristas in London and beyond.

February 2012

On Friday, 24th February, Professor Toca from FICA-London will be our special guest.

Toca started Capoeira Angola in 1993 with Mestre Manoel (Ypiranga de Pastinha) in Rio, and has been leading the FICA-London group since 2008. Always a regular at the MarAzul Friday Rodas, Toca’s ability and playfulness always brings plenty of axé and energy to the roda.

January 2012

Our first special guest, on 27th January, was Mestre Simon Fantasma from East London Capoeira.

Simon is one of the key players in the movement for promoting exchange and integration between capoeiristas in the UK, where he has been teaching capoeira for over 20 years. He organises the monthly Urban Ritual, where capoeiristas from all styles come together for a day of vadiagem.
