Street capoeira: fieldnotes of the "Caxias roda de capoeira"This paper aims at describing the memories of the "Caxias Roda de Capoeira" as they are presented in the testimonials of former founders and participants.In order to do so, we have carried an ethnographic research during the year of 2003 to understand how the social agents share their memories of one of the most traditional and important "rodas" de capoeira in Brazil.The profile of the current participant in the "Roda de Caxias" was mapped through the replies to fifty questionnaires applied among its frequenters.The appearance of this "roda de capoeira" in the 1970s was characterized as an alternative model, which to a certain extent, created conditions for the co-existence, not always pacific, among participants and representatives of the Angola and Regional "capoeira schools".
