A remix to an awesome electronica song by Saycet – Opal. Please subscribe and comment. Thank you!

Lyrics © 2010:
She was the one that he never chose to love.
Cause he wanted to be close and it wasnt close enough.
And they let their shoulders rub, when she showed her only one
But the silence was something she could never overcome.
Opal was mute,
They would communicate from sunup to sundown
And every time, she acted as if someone cut her tongue out.
Drawing letters on his back just to see if he could guess it.
But he was always wrong, yeah, youd think hed learned his lesson
When she wrote that she was leaving, but it didnt make a difference.
Cause the note that he was reading wasnt any of his business
Her glossary was probably
complicated, it ought to be.
They were music prodigies
the songs were amazing.
He knows she lost the lottery
and never saw him naked.
Now shes taunting him we could say
from different states and places
But hes drawing constellations
so she can make it back with a map and one day
promise him she’ll make it.
Is he honestly mistaken?
Is it locked or is it vacant?
Appalled and impatient.
He stopped on the pavement
watched from the gate and
knocked with persuasion
but he was too late.
Her belongings were taken.
Chorus
He became a mute, thinking its the same as you.
Never tell a lie, but keeping secrets just for the sake of truth.
He would wait a day or two, for a sign that they were through.
And that note that he was reading felt engraved on his tomb.
Cause inside he died, and along with his language.
But in time his pride kept him from speaking to strangers.
He was waiting for a reason to say something important
While the seasons would change, but nothing in four months
Not a telephone call or a letter in the mail
But he began to wonder if he would go blind from reading Braille.
Cause she was really gone and his senses deceived him.
Unless theres a reason for why she was leaving.
He wrote on the walls of what it could possibly be
Writing math problems, novellas, and squared

Capoeira is a unique blend of acrobatic dance, combat, music and improvised play which originated in Brazil. Capoeira was invented by African slaves to protect themselves and their culture against the Portuguese slave-masters and Oppressors. Today Capoeira is practiced by people of all ages and cultures around the world. The most dynamic and technically complete style of Capoeira, traditional Capoeira Regional, is famous for its speed, jumps, kicks, takedowns, projections and general dynamism. The Grupo de Capoeira Porto da Barra was founded by Mestre Cabeludo in Salvador da Bahia (the capital of Capoeira) in 1994 to preserve and spread the traditional Capoeira Regional of Mestre Bimba / Mestre Vermelho 27.

The history of Capoeira Regional began with the birth of its founder, Manuel dos Reis Machado on November 23, 1899. His father, Luis Candido Machado, taught his son the art of Batuque, an extinct martial art, which, like Capoeira, occurs inside a ring of musicians and spectators (roda). The younger Machado, who is today known as the world-famous Mestre Bimba, gained his strength the honest way, working as a stevedor in the rough and tough port of Salvador. From the ages of 18-28 he taught Capoeira and was a well known figure in the street rodas of the day. In 1928 he invented Capoeira Regional to improve the fighting efficiency of Capoeira. With over 50 movements and 8 training sequences, Capoeira was for the first time an organized, efficient cultural expression and martial art. Bimba opened the first Academy of Capoeira in 1930. Shortly after, thanks to Bimba, Capoeira, which had always been repressed, became legal. Even more important than the legalization of Capoeira was the legalization of all Brazilian folkloric expressions (street processions, festivals etc) in 1953 after Bimba and his students performed for the president of Brazil, Getulio Vargas.

One of the other innovations of Mestre Bimba was the inclusion of projections (throws) in his Capoeira Regional. These beautiful cinturas desprezadas train a Capoeirista in confidence and to always fall on his feet. Many Capoeiristas did not approve of Mestre Bimba’s innovations and growing fame, and claimed that he had mixed Capoeira with martial arts from Asia and Europe. In response, Bimba explained that he had preserved elements of Batuque in his Capoeira Regional and offered to fight all doubters in the ring. All who accepted his challenge were defeated and the fame of Bimba spread. In the 1940’s and 50’s, students of Bimba fought in no-holds-barred combats in Rio de Janeiro and Sau Paulo with impressive results. After the death of Mestre Bimba in 1974, and despite the efforts of Mestre Vermelho 27 (José) Carlos Bittencourt), the traditions, rhythms, and training practices of Capoeira Regional began to erode. In 1994 Mestre Cabeludo (formado by Mestre Bamba and Mestre Vermelho 27) created the Grupo de Capoeira Porto da Barra in Bahia, Brazil, to continue the spectacular history of Mestre Bimba into the new millennium. The Group has affiliates in Brasil,Argentina, Australia, Belgica, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Italy,England. The group is affiliated with the Associação Brasileira dos Professores de Capoeira-Bahia, President Mestre Cesar Itapoan.

CAPOEIRA IS …

… a combination of fight, dance and acrobatics

… an expression of freedom

… a cross-cultural exchange

… a way to build physical, mental and spiritual strenght and balance

… a form of self expression, a path toward self-empowerment .
