A photograph that i like



This photo was taken by “Guille” (one of my capoeira’s instructors) in a place called "palace culture" in the city of Coquimbo, the last year (2012). In that place are administered many cultural activities, like theather works, musical presentations, dance, visual art, etc. which are both local and nationals. In my case, I was in a group of “capoeira”, a Brazilian martial art with many elements of dance and music. In this photo appears my teammates of capoeira, including my instructors. They have in their hands traditional musical instruments used in capoeira: “berimbau” (large and with form of arc), and “djembé” (a small drum). Behind us is a very big mirror that always we have used for control our techniques. This photo is important for me because even though capoeira is currently active around the world, is an art originated in XIX century, for this reason is something invaluable for me the fact of have practiced this, and contribute to their visual recording. In addition, friendly persons that appears in this photo shared with me not only trainings and fascinating knowledge but also daily activities with me, so they are worthy of my best memories and photos
