Importance of Music in Capoeira

Without the music there is no Capoeira.  Please train the music with as much effort as you put into the movements.  The sooner you star to learn the songs and instruments, the faster you will become comfortable with them.  There are resources online and in the studio that will help you with this aspect of Capoeira.  

 

There are several instruments in the roda.  The berimbau is the bow-like instrument that leads the roda. The atabaque is a large drum, the pandeiro is a tambourine, and the agogo is a bell.  Training Capoeira will require you to learn each of these instruments over time.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
