Singing for Survival: Capoeira History

Apelidos: What's in a Name?

Mike Pinto Episode 16

In this episode, we take a look at apelidos: what are they, where do they come from, and how should we use them going forward? This is inspired by and informed from a survey of 75 Capoeiristas polled through the Capoeira sub-reddit on their experience with apelidos.
