GRUPO AXÉ CAPOEIRA

Grupo Axé Capoeira began in Recife in 1982. Today, as Canada's first academy of Capoeira, the Grupo continues to rise as one of the world's leading Capoeira organizations. Backed by worldwide releases of four albums of music on CD, the video release of the 2000 International Capoeira Encounter, enrollment continues to steadily increase with over 15,000 students from all over the world. In August 2007, Grupo Axé Capoeira hosted the 2nd International Capoeira Encounter in Recife, Brazil, which attracted participants from over 16 countries. Furthermore, Grupo Axé Capoeira is renowned as a traveling group which promotes the history, music, art, and culture of Brazil in interactive and educational demonstrations.
