Angola chama seu povo
Chama eu, chama
Eh, chama de um a um
Chama eu, chama
Mas Angola chama seu povo
Chama eu, chama
Eh, chama de um a um
Chama eu, chama
Mas era eu era meu mano
Chama eu, chama
Eh, quando nós andava junto
Chama eu, chama
Oh Senzala e Sagui
Chama eu, chama
Colega velho, olha nunca se perdeu
Chama eu, chama
Angola chama meu povo
Chama eu, chama
Eh, chama de um a um
Chama eu, chama
Angola calls its people
Call me, call me
Calls them one by one
Call me, call me
But Angola calls its people
Call me, call me
Calls them one by one
Call me, call me
But it was me, it was my brother
Call me, call me
When we were walking together
Call me, call me
Oh Senzala and Sagui
Call me, call me
Old colleague, look, you never got lost
Call me, call me
Angola calls my people
Call me, call me
Calls them one by one
Call me, call me
Did you know?
Angola
- Angola is the West-Central African nation that serves as the primary ancestral and cultural birthplace of the rhythms, movements, and spiritual roots of capoeira.
- During the transatlantic slave trade, millions of people were forcibly taken from this region to Brazil, bringing with them rich martial traditions like the combat dance N'golo.
- The country's deep historical connection is permanently embedded in the art through Capoeira Angola, the traditional style dedicated to preserving these original roots.
- The name is universally celebrated in the roda through countless traditional songs that invoke Angola as a sacred land of ancestors, memory, and profound longing.
- The primary instrument of the art, the berimbau, is directly tied to Angolan musical heritage, evolving from traditional bow instruments like the mbulumbumba.
- Today, capoeiristas view the nation as a ultimate cultural touchstone, representing the unbreakable bond between African resistance and Brazilian identity.
