www.auxdocks.com - Vida de Mandingueiro [Being Capoeira] Documentary 52'.
Express Brazil and its culture without the usual clichés, thats the spirit of the "Vida de Mandingueiro" project. Take time; ask the good questions; go beyond the first findings, find out what happens behind the curtains, feel everydays life, seize the essence of a cultural practice as a mirror of a society with multiple faces. What is capoeira really? Who represents this art which is conquering all continents accross the globe?
Meet the masters of capoeira and learn about their history and their philosophy. These masters are the body and the soul of this both popular and marginal practice, and their knowledge is essential to Brazil's history. Through their lives, from the elder to the new generations, we want to understand and show how this cultural heritage lives on today. Doing so, we like to think that we can somehow participate in its transmission and evolution.

I am angolero by heart. I learned capoeira regionale. I had the opportunity to start with Mestre Bimba, then with XXX (I could not get the name), who was not angolero either. Who was what his berimbau said; he was capoeira. Nowadays, you are either one or the other. At this time, I learned this capoeira: play low, play high, play slow, play fast... I like that capoeira is spontaneous.

"I am angolero by heart. I learned capoeira regionale. I had the opportunity to start with Mestre Bimba, then with XXX (I could not get the name)" the name of the master is Canjiquinha.

I see the cover of Nestor Capoeira's CAPOEIRA: ROOTS OF THE DANCE-FIGHT GAME in this video. Excellent

Speech by Mestre Lua Rasta at the third minute. I am Maloungo. Maybe I am crazy too (translation note: it seems that there is a pun in Portuguese between maloungo and crazy). In this crazy society, it's difficult to avoid being crazy. Maloungo, it's the guy who does not agree with the system, the systematic thing, military, dominant; it's the guy who is looking for alternatives to survive, as an artist, a musician, a capoeirista...

Here is a partial and imperfect translation from the french in the video. But since comments can only be 500 characters long, I had to cut it pieces and there are arranged in reverse order, so start from the bottom...

You go to a capoeira roda, you do not need recognition signs, all those things, this horrible uniform, this corda system. I find this uptight. I find it uptight that you go to a roda and there are 20 to 30 people dressed in black and yellow.

Here is an imperfect translation in english from the french audio. 01:00 It's strange that in a town like this, there is still prejudice against capoeira. It's not only capoeira, but the whole black community, the whole cultural production of the black people. The worst is that they want to recognize capoeiristas, but under the condition that they organize themselves. And this organization thing, I think it's terrible: it's not recognizing that they have their own organization.

The auxdocks link is dead, but I found the DVD at this link: www.capoeirashop.fr/en/cd-dvd-book-capoeira/218-dvd-vida-de-mandingueiro.html Note that it's PAL Region 2 - *If* I'm understanding the description (in French), it has the original Portuguese language soundtrack, a version with French over-dubbing, which we are hearing here, and subtitles in English, French, and Portuguese.

Is there a chance to get this on dvd?

This is were the prejudices lie. They reject the capoeiristas, but want capoeira. But they do not recognize its own nature. The biggest prejudices are not against the activity, but against the guys who traditionally play capoeira: the black people.

But if you do many nice movements, without paying attention, you are not playing capoeira. You go up, down, you perform like a pantomime, but you don't feel the journey. Sometimes, a guy with 2 or 3 capoeira moves is much more capoeira than the one who does lots of fancy stuffs for nothing. If you see Nelson Foumoufine (?), he only used a scissor, a head-but and his tongue: he'd stick his tongue out at you. If you do that nowadays, you get punched in the face.
