My journey as a Capoeira beginner (day 15):

There is a musical instrument in capoeira called the "berimbau". It is one of the key allies during the roda and the ginga. It can be played with specific rhythms, using caxixis, "chocalhos" or a small stick/baqueta. One of the main rhythms is called "Angola", or "Angola call". This melody starts to be played at the beginning of the roda or when they call you into the roda to ginga together. It is made essentially of wood and string, whether that be an extremely resistant wire, like steel string. Other instruments are also used, such as the "caxixi".

    How could I not imagine you pressed against my skin, feeling your heart and your heartbeat. We did this all the time... Because every time you touch me, there's no one around. Impossible not to respond to your danger, you are my predator and I am your prey. Because every time you touch me, my body becomes a zone, you take me to the highest point. You have this magnetic touch, completely magnetic like the energy of the moon. It would be strange to see a jaguar and a deer running through the
