The young ones love to sing Capoeira songs in Portuguese while clapping their hands in time! It’s amazing how fast they pick up the songs in a heartbeat and sing them back to you word by word by the next lesson! And their top favourites? Paraná é…Paraná é…Paraná followed by la la é, la la é, la la é la la é la… and er, zum zum zum capoeira mata um…
