In the beginning, it was the idea to make a recording of the music of the Capoeira with a choice of excellent musicians under the best studio conditions. Particular focus was to be taken of the tone-rich Berimbaus, each one fulfilling a particular musical function, together with the percussion instruments. Claus Jaeke started to research in Bahia together with a group of excellent musicians (Alvinho, Denis Lisboa, Dell Chaves, Lourimbau) the most customary tempos, ways of playing, instrumental arrangements, songs and words employed in authentic Toques. Capoeira is a centuries old art form of the Afro-Brazilians. It is a form of combat and dance, poetry and music, aesthetics and beauty, meditation and spirituality. According to the chronicles Capoeira officially appeared for the first time in Brazil in the 17th century. In Brazil Capoeira is a folk art, which is open to all strata of the population.
