YouTube channel Raridades da Capoeira recently shared Vadiação, a short but fascinating documentary of capoeira produced in 1954 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The film’s opening credits mention (in Portuguese) “director A. Robatto Filho”, “berimbaus and singers of Mestre Bimba”, “game players of Mestre Valdemar”, and the names Caribé, Paulo Jatobá, Manoel Ribeiro, and Silvio Robatto as “collaborators”.
