Salt Lake Capoeira is hosting an event that explores the music and dance of different African diaspora cultures in the Americas on April 14.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utahns will get a unique look at a mix of dance and music stemming from the African diaspora — a population that totals"An Evening with Brazil, Africa and Puerto Rico" will feature half a dozen performance groups, ranging from Afro-Brazilian capoeira, a martial art that African slaves disguised as a dance, and"We're actually very excited because of the mix of different cultures coming together to celebrate in one night," Salt Lake Capoeira founder Mauro...
Romualdo said Africans influenced culture in the Americas in different manners due to the unique situations in each area. However, he added that there are some commonalities across places like Brazil, Puerto Rico and East Africa. "I feel like the drums is what connects us. When we hear the music from Puerto Rico or Africa as well, it's very similar to what we hear in Brazil," he said. "In capoeira, the way that we form is in a circle and everybody is clapping hands and singing together. That's the same thing in Puerto Rico and in East Africa. The energy is different, but at the end of the day we are all engaged and we all connect again through the drums and the music.
"One of the things I love most about capoeira is the community that we've been working really hard on and creating in Salt Lake City. My classes have a huge diversity of people: local people from here in Salt Lake, people from Middle East, South America, Africa and Europe," Romualdo said. "It is very beautiful when you see that you're making a difference in people's lives through this beautiful art form."or $30 and $15 at the door at Alliance Theater, 602 E.
