Capoeiristas performing for money in traffic

A Capoeirista demonstrate his art for money on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Capoeira is a mixture of martial arts, games, and dance that originated in Brazil created and developed by African slaves during the 16th century. Participants form a roda circle and take turns playing instruments, singing, and sparring in pairs. Enormously acrobatic, Capoeira was for most of its existence banned by the Brazilian authorities. It is now seen as a national sport.
