Monitor Touro started training capoeira in 2006 and has been teaching in the Buffalo area for over 10 years. Touro trains under Mestre Carcará as part of Capoeira com Expressão out of Rochester, with a contemporary capoeira style that seeks to establish a game based on creativity and sound technique.
Capoeira is an art-form originating in Brazil but with African roots. Enslaved Africans brought to Brazil by Portugal, developed capoeira as a means of self-defense but disguised it as a dance. As slavery became a thing of the past, capoeira evolved into the current blend of dance, music and improvisation that is seen today.
