This year's guests
Mestre Jogo de Dentro is one of the leading teachers of Capoeira Angola living today, and a strong reference point for the capoeira of our group, CMA. He is a student of Mestre João Pequeno, and branches of his own school Semente de Angola are now spread around the world. Based in Bahia, Brazil, he travels internationally teaching capoeira, and has visited New Zealand several times. http://www.sementedojogodeangola.org.br
Mestre Plinio had been playing capoeira for over twenty years when in 1993 he met Mestre Jogo de Dentro. From this time he started to teach his first students, forming his group Angoleiro Sim Sinhô. He lived and trained with Mestre Jogo de Dentro for five years till he was graduated as a Contra Mestre. Since 1996 Mestre Plinio has been developing his work with capoeira angola in São Paulo at his centre on Rua Turiassu. http://www.angoleirosimsinho.org.br/
Mestre Roxinho was initiated into the world of Capoeira Angola in 1979 at the Academy of Mestre Virgilio. In 2002, Mestre Virgilio gave him the title of Mestre. In 2006, Mestre Roxinho immigrated to Australia and established his school, Escola de Capoeira Angola Mato Rasteiro (ECAMAR), in Sydney and became the first Master of Capoeira Angola from Bahia to have established a school of Capoeira Angola in Australia. http://www.capoeira-angola.com.au/
