Connecticut’s Mestre Efraim Silva has been in capoeira news quite a bit lately, from this weekend’s O Rio da Vida women’s event (with Professora Fominha), to being noticed for his determination in his own education. His newest spotlight comes from whistlekick Martial Arts Radio, who invited Mestre Efraim on their show for a 42 minute interview about his life and the art of capoeira.
As the saying goes, capoeira is for men, women, and children. Taking that statement to heart, Connecticut’s Raça em Movimento is hosting its first event honoring the women and mothers of capoeira—a powerful, essential, and often under-appreciated segment of the capoeira community.
Silva, owner of Connecticut Capoeira and Dance Center, 1175 State St., quit high school in his native Brazil at 17 to pursue his passion for teaching capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art that requires quick, complex, acrobatic moves.
