About the Collective

Capoeira Angola has long been part of DC history. In the 1990s, Mestre Cobra Mansa resided in the District, training a a group of angoleiros, many of whom continue to reside and teach here. Mandinga DC is a collective founded by the 2nd and 3rd generation of these angoleiros who train together regularly and work to disseminate the practice of the martial art and the healing art of Capoeira Angola.
