A Short Cross-Analysis of Brazilian Capoeira and Thai Sarama Music and Shared Ritual Practices
نویسنده
چکیده
outh America’s most famous forms of martial arts are, arguably, Brazilian jiujitsu (adapted from traditional Japanese Judo by a Brazilian family in the 1920s), and capoeira, an African descendant form that encompasses dance, music, and (mostly) non-contact athletic acrobatics. Both forms can be natively referred to as jogo—game—with the participants being players (jogadores). Capoeira jogadores (or capoeiristas) are distinct from jiujitsu fighters in that their martial art also requires cross-training in musical performance and an accompanying dance. This allows the analyst to acquire a unique insight into the musical component of the art when discussing performance practice in the context of ritual for capoeiristas.
