Capoeira! Brazilian Style Fighting Feature

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art created in the 1500's by African slaves. The slaves were not allowed to practice any fighting techniques that they had learned in Africa. To overcome this restriction, the slaves practiced the fighting moves and techniques disguising them as dances. The techniques presented here are very unique and deceptive. Developed by the leaders of the New York Branch, the moves bring together their comprehensive knowledge of traditional Capoeira techniques and other martial arts. The New York City Branch incorporates boxing, the African martial art of Batuque and Brazilian jiu jitsu in its Capoeira. This video features beginning movements and many advanced moves including techniques and fighting applications! A must for anyone interested in the art of Capoeira!

Ile Aiye (The House of Life) Feature

ILÉ AIYÉ is David Byrne's breathtaking 1989 documentary on Candomblé, the African-influenced spirit cult of the Bahia region of Brazil.

ILÉ AIYÉ explores the ways in which Candomblé has influenced the daily life and culture of the people of Brazil in music, art, religion, theater, food, dance, poetry and more. ILÉ AIYÉ uses experimental film techniques, music, and cultural observation to express the life and rituals of Candomblé and the symbolic manifestation of the Orishás, the deities which represent the wide range of natural and spiritual forces. The rhythms of the sacred drums and bells, a dance of spiritual ecstasy, offerings and sacrifices, divination and the visitation of the Orishás through trance are all part of the color and life of Candomblé.

Complemented by the original score from David Byrne recorded with Bahian musicians, the music in ILÉ AIYÉ includes ritual music recorded during ceremonies as well as popular Brazilian songs influenced by Candomblé.

But once there, he is locked out -- it is past closing time. While he and his wife wait for the church to open again, everything starts to go wrong.
