Music is an essential element of capoeira angola. As the game unfolds, a line of instruments including the berimbau, pandeiro, reco reco, agogo, and atabaque form a bateria that imbues the game with energy and context. Learning to play the instruments, sing in portuguese, and make beautiful music together are fundamental skills for the angoleiro (player of capoeira angola). Songs range from the somber to irreverent and the music we play together nourishes the spirit.
