Em Berlin, a estrela da reconciliação entre mãe e filho -África e Diáspora- brilhou mais forte que nunca. Mestre Cobra mansa, um Angoleiro respeitado da linhagem do glorioso Mestre Pastinha, palestrou sobre a sua viajem de pesquisa pela a República de Angola.
Cerca de 10.000 escravos chegavam em média anualmente ao Brasil, com a grande maioria vindos de Angola e do Reino do Congo.
O evento realizado pela Academia Jangada de Mestre Rosalvo e Contra mestre Susy, a escola mais velha de Capoeira Angola na Europa, contou com cerca de cem representantes e admiradores da arte.
Em tempos em que a desigualdade social e cultural ainda prevalecem, o Mestre apresentou desteminadamente uma palestra comprovando varias raízes da capoeira.
A palestra trouxe conforto e orgulho aos coraçoes dos bem intencionados e guerreiros da herança africana, como os Mestres João Grande, Paulo Siqueira e Cyro. Na mesma mão, provavelmente trouxe desdém para os demais que ainda hoje oram desacreditar as contribuições de Africanos e seus descendentes em Brasil e outras Diasporas.
De Benguela ao Cunene, desde a kabetula ao N’golo, o mestre alcançou o objectivo de reunir diversos mestres locais e seus discípulos. De acordo com o Mestre Cobra Mansa, os mesmos não se reuniam a mais de vinte anos.
As rodas realizadas em vários kimbos e sanzalas (aldeias) foram gravadas e fotografadas pelo próprio filho da Diáspora e sua equipe, que juntos pretendem realizar um documentario sobre as raízes da capoeira.
Obrigado mestre, pela firmeza, claridade de expressão e contribuição pela reconciliação entre filhos e filhas de uma mãe única.
A capoeira veio da África! E Hoje podemos gritar mais alto.
Twapandula!

In Berlin, the star of reconciliation between mother and son-Africa and the diaspora-shone brighter than ever. Mestre Cobra mansa, a respected Angoleiro from the glorious lineage of Master Pastinha, spoke about his journey of research to the Republic of Angola.
The event held by the Academia Jangada of Mestre Rosalvo and Contra mestra Susy, the oldest school of Capoeira Angola in Europe, counted with about one hundred representatives and admirers of the art.
At a time when social and cultural inequality still prevail, the Master presented a lecture fearlessly demonstrating several roots of capoeira.
Hundreds of slaves went taken to Brazil in an annually bases and the vast majority from Angola and the Kingdom of the Congo.
From Benguela to Cunene, from the Kabetula to N'gola, the master was able to achieve the objective of bringing together several local masters and their disciples. According to Mestre Cobra Mansa, they had not met in more than twenty years.
The Rodas held in various Kimbos and sanzalas (villages) were recorded and photographed by the diaspora’s own son and his team who intend to make a documentary about the roots of capoeira.
The lecture comforted and brought pride to the hearts of well-intentioned and warriors of the African heritage like Masters Joao Grande, Paul Siqueira and Ciro. On the same hand, probably brought contempt to others who still discredit the contributions of Africans and their descendants in Brazil and other Diasporas.
Thank you master for the firmness and clarity of expression and contribution for the reconciliation between the sons and daughters of the same parents.
Capoeira came from Africa! And now we can shout it louder.
