For Maculele Students

This page is dedicated to the students of Maculele New Orleans.  It is hard to find some information about Capoeira especially when it pertains to your own Capoeira group.  Here you can find information like the cord system, movement list and events.

 

Hino do Grupo Maculelê - Grupo Maculelê's Anthem

Maculelê é grupo de emoção
Joga bonito e canta com coração
Dentro da roda, capoeira é mandingeiro
Joga ligeiro com cadencia meu irmão
A nossa roda abençoada por Pastinha
Pelo Seu Bimba, Waldemar e Canjinquinha
Que hoje joga capoeira la no ceu
Iluminando berimbau nosso trofeu

CORO: A capoeira do Grupo Maculelé
Tem muito axe, tem mandinga, e tem dende

O Berimbau instrumento genial
Que me da força pra na roda eu entra
E alimenta meu spirito, minha alma
Minha mente e meu corpo pra joga capoeira

CORO: A capoeira do Grupo Maculelê
Tem muito axe, tem mandinga, e tem dende
