“Of all the events I go to every year, this one is the one I look forward to the most. Amazing games, non-stop music, and an energy that will have you getting goosebumps. Mestre Chuvisquinho and his students do a fantastic job organizing the event so that both students and guest have a great experience. Every time I attend Encontro de Bambas, I come away feeling revitalized and in love with capoeira!”

Elias BorodaGrupo Ginga Brasil Boston | USA

“If you're looking for a fun, challenging and high-energy capoeira event, the Sinha Capoeira Batizado weekend is the place to be! I first attended the event in 2019 and felt so welcomed by the entire Sinha team. The event was very-well organized and overall a great time. In 2022 I returned with a number of other students from my group. The event was again incredibly fun! Everyone had a great time. Thank you Mestre Chuvisquinho and the entire Sinha Capoeira team for your hospitality!”

"My daughter and I had the opportunity to attend the Encontro de Bambas 2022 event hosted by Mestre Chuvisqinho. We drove all the way from Toronto, CA and it was totally worth it. The event went beyond my expectations, from Rodas to Workshops, Classes and the Competition. It was amazing to be there to congratulate Mestre Chuvisquinho in his 25 years Anniversary in the US, he has built a diverse, friendly and strong Capoeira Community. We have been to a few schools in Canada, Mexico and US and this is one of the best events we have seen. Emma loved to meet Capoeirista's, Instructors and Mestres from all over the world. The Sinhá Capoeira Boston team made us feel very welcome and we cannot wait for the next event."

“Training with Mestre Chuvisquinho, his students, the visiting instructors, and all of the guests of the event was amazing! The workshops were diverse and challenging. I especially loved the Afro-Brazilian dance workshop. There was such great energy during the rodas each day and I learned a lot of new music. Most importantly, I felt really welcome there, like I was part of the Sinhá family.”

Tranquila Morgan LittleGrupo Capoeira Brasil Chicago

“Our martial art, Capoeira, is always very well represented outside Brazil by the dear Mestre Chuvisquinho. The Encontro de Bambas provides a diversity of guests from all over the world, further enhancing the cultural event. Fundamentals, quality, fun, good friends, and high-level Capoeira make this traditional annual event a must-see. We feel at home while students and families embrace this great party and welcome all of us guests very well. There is excellence in every detail to make it a unique audio-visual experience every day of the event, making all participants feel like having a little piece of Brazil and all its historical context in each environment or presentation. It is always a great spectacle of genuinely Brazilian culture. Congratulations, Mestre Chuvisquinho, and the entire Sinhá Capoeira team! In all events, there is that "taste" of "I want more." We'll meet soon!

The music and energy in the rodas was out of this world. I’m really excited for this years event ! It’s going to be fire, hope to see you all there!”
