Professor (say Pro-fess-or) Omi teaches capoeira at my studio - Capoeira Angola Quintal. He was born in Bahia and he has been playing since he was a wee lad. He looks rather serious here but he can be quite silly. He likes to kick me over in class when he doesnt think Im paying attention or if he sees me randomly on the street. He also likes to pretend to make out with me. I never know which to expect from him but thats part of his charm. :D The three rhythms shown here are: Angola, São Bento pequeno, São Bento grande. for more, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira_toques http://80.media.vimeo.com/d1/5/30/46/56/thumbnail-30465608.jpg 200 150 657685
