About the Instructor

Mestre Cabello

Born in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, Mestre Cabello dedicates his life to the rhythms, instruments, songs and dances of the Afro-Brazilian culture.

Mestre Cabello is an experienced master of Capoeira Angola & disciple of the great Mestre João Grande, ethnomusicologist Professora Emilia Biancardi and master drummer Jorge Alabé. Originally from Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, Mestre Cabello has dedicated the last 20 of his 40 years in the art to cultivating Capoeira Angola in Serra Grande, Brazil and around the world. He casts an attentive and respectful look at the codes and the rich repository of musicality, tuning, ritual and movement left by the old masters from the 1940's, 50's and 60’s via audio recordings, texts, photos and drawings. Seen through these lenses, the study of Afro-Brazilian culture is of vital importance to the recognition, understanding and appreciation of a complete capoeirista. Mestre Cabello approaches Capoeira Angola as a sustainable and nourishing practice for our whole selves: body, mind and spirit.
