Every year, it has been MOOD INDIGO’s indefatigable endeavour to bring out some snazzy new stuff that, along with the added advantage of taking you on a roller coaster ride of utter fun, introduces to you a new art form originating in some nook or corner of the world.

We bring this time a martial arts cum dance art form originated from Brazil!
Capoeira as a sport is played in several different ways, the two most common being Angola and Regional. In both there are defence and attack moves that are accompanied and even lead by the music and songs that the master (mestre) and students play and sing. Distinctive from other martial arts by this music, the continuous movement of the players and the minimal contact involved it is often (mis)taken for a dance. However, lets not the grace and flexibility of the players hide their strength and skill.
And as you can infer, the art form actually banishes the idea of violence and is a form of physical training where you concentrate solely on the stamina and fitness of the body with a complacent mind and peaceful spirits.
A Capoeira performance is in the offing this Mood Indigo, where you shall witness the feat among myriad others in the Carnival.
