[About Group Inzinga (Inzinga)]
Officially known as Grupo Nzinga de Capoeira Angola (Capoeira Angola Group Inzinga), the group was founded in 1995 by three masters, Janja, Paulinha, and Porocca, as a group dedicated to preserving and passing on the culture of Capoeira Angola. Since then, they have focused on educating young people in the local community, campaigning to eradicate racism and sexism in society, and promoting women's rights. They trace the origins of Capoeira to Africa and are engaged in research and understanding to deepen their knowledge of Afro-Brazilian culture.
