Here's a nice video from CDO St. Petersburg.

I like how close Ta Russo (the guy in the yellow shirt) plays. The intro of the video is the most interesting part, because it is showcasing the beginners :-D

Vocab of the Day

Miudinho, is a type of capoeira toque and jogo (game). Like Angola and São Bento Grande, the berimbau plays a unique rhythm that calls for a certain game to be played. Miudinho is a fast, close game that is usually done by advance cordão de ouro players. Mestre Suassuna is the creator of both the group Cordão de Ouro, and the toque. He has said that he created Miudinho, to bring back the way he played capoeira in older times, and reinforce that stratagem (of playing closer) in a capoeira game. Miudinho is usually learned in several sequences. (Also, refer to the video of the week to see an example of a Miudinho game)
