August 27, 1998. Our good friend Dilson DaSilva was kind enough to come to EYHKC and teach us the Brazilian art of Capoeira. You can click the smaller images to view larger ones. Please use the "back" button of your browser to return.

Dilson demonstrates the jinga, the basic movement of Capoeira.

The musical instruments of Capoeira: Beginning at foreground, lower left-hand corner, agogo (the bells), pandeiro (the tambourine), atabaque (the drum, played by Dilson), and the birimbau.

EYHKC member Richard Llanera (left) practices the jinga.
