Cziplee - Meeting your needs

For the past Saturday nights, we at CzipLee and the patrons of Bangsar have been treated to a very special after hours performance by this very talented group of artists. They are from the Bantus Capoeira Malaysia! They are not just any normal artists, they are CAPOEIRA artists!

Capoeira is a Brazilian fight-dance, game, and martial art created by enslaved Africans during the 19th Century [1] Participants form a roda (circle) and take turns playing instruments, singing, and sparring in pairs in the centre of the circle. The game is marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, subterfuge, and extensive use of groundwork, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts. Less frequently, elbow-strikes, slaps, punches, and body-throws are used. Technique and strategy are the key elements to playing a good game. Capoeira has three main styles, known as "regional", "Angola", and the less-well defined "contemporanea". (Source: WIKI of course!)

The COOLEST and only Capoiera movie that we know! =)
