15yrs ago when Bar Beach was still there we played capoeira on the promenade area …now the public beach has gone and replaced by what. Is meant to be an exclusive gated community which is still a wasteland with a few high rise buildings…..tragedy #capeoira #beach #capitalismsucks
So grateful that Faaji Agba got to celebrate her 10year anniversary to the day - 1st October 2015 she was finally pushed out to the world thanks to the deadline given to me to show at @lcafilmfest and 10 yrs later 1st October 2025 the film was aired again with @lcafilmfest …Amazing.

And so it continues after 17yrs of not playing and the series of random encounters as I said that led me to @southbankcentre - met someone who trained with me with my very first capoeira teacher around 1990 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#capoeiraangola #capoeira
After 17yrs on not playing capoeira - I was more than blessed when a series of seemingly random encounters led me to old friends and memories of another era of my life …truly grated for the experience @southbankcentre #capoeira
