We are Simon, Ana Claudia and Cinzia, also now known as Lapinha, Cutia and Manteiga since that fateful day we got bitten by the capoeira bug!

One day, we had a thought – To try to create a space where every Capoerista, regardless of nationality, group, style of capoeira, age or ability, could find information, advice, history, curiosities and music… essentially anything that the capoeira bug might demand – Papoeira.com!
