Mestre Andorinha, from Italy, is coming to London to share his knowledge in Maculelê with us.

There are many stories about the origin of Maculelê, here's one of them: There were two tribes in Brazil: a peaceful tribe, and a warlike pirate one. For steeling supplies and raping this tribe would repeatedly attack the peaceful tribe, who had no way of defending themselves. One day, during an attack, a young boy named "Maculelê" picked up a pair of sticks and fought off the other tribe. The other tribe never attacked again. His home tribe then made a mock combat dance using sticks and named the dance "Maculelê" in his honor and memory.
