The Caipi Kickback was created and organized by Aldanie "Macaquinho" Martinez in partnership with his good friend Ritmo "with the goal of creating a space to explore our arts, uniting artistic communities, sharing Capoeira and other arts with new people, and finding ways to help elevate the organizations and people within these ecosystems."
The past two Caipi Kickbacks teamed up with the Samba community and the Breaking community. This year brings Capoeira and African dance and drumming together.
Manga African Dance was so thrilled to be part of this event as a partner. The community enjoyed a very fun, social gathering on Saturday, July 29, 2023, from 2pm to 7pm, with food and beverages. The highlights included a drum circle showcasing a variety of drums, an African dance class demonstration, and an environment of fun and learning. And of course, the reason for this event, the Capoeira dance tradition itself. The Caipi Kickback event was held at Phys.ed Atlanta 1500 Nabell Ave East Point, GA 30344.
