Music

The music in capoeira helps the energy of the players. It tells them how fast or how slow to play, if they should play violently or relaxed, or if the game with be low to the ground and really slow. The songs also tell stories, brag, warn of eminent danger, etc... The songs are a way for the mestre or person leading the roda to communicate with the students and people in the Roda.
