Pra educar a cultura da Capoeira com responsabiliade e gerar respeito, também precisamos escrever (a Ginga) conscientes das regras dos Acordos Ortográficos, em vigor desde 1931-1943 e com as emendas de 1971 de um acordo em vigor no Brasill que determinam a regra ortográfica oficial de língua portuguesa - usada no Brasil. As regras ortográficas ensinam que um título cultural, assim como nomes próprios, deve ser escrito com letra maiúscula inicial. Ademais, a palavra brasileira pra nomeiar a cultura de Capoeira sendo bem escrita com a letra maiúscula inicial [C] destaca a diferença da palavra portuguesa {capoeira} em minúsculas, que serve pra alcunhar os galinheiros do povo de Portugal.
To educate Capoeira culture responsibly and generate respect, we also need to write aware of the rules of the Orthographic Agreements, in force since 1931-1943 and with the 1971 amendments to an agreement in force in Brazil that determine the official Portuguese-speaking orthographic rule - used in Brazil. The orthographic rules teach that a cultural title, as well as proper names, must be written with an initial capital letter. In addition, the Brazilian word to name the Capoeira culture being well written with the initial capital letter [C] single out the difference of the Portuguese word {capoeira} in lower case which is a nickname for the chicken coops of the Portuguese.

Dissertando sobre as tradições espiritualizadas do Candomblé que estão firmemente enraizadas na origem da Capoeira brasileira e moldam o estilo do canto e o astuto molejo da ginga de Capuêra, informo sobre a exclusão do Atabaque na Escola de Capoeira do Mestre Bimba, na Bahia, e como a mesma situação de exclusão do Atabaque foi vivida na minha Roda, na Austrália.
Mestre Jeronimo chats about the spiritual Candomblé traditions firmly rooted in the origins of Brazilian Capoeira and shaping the style of singing and the sway of Capuêra's ginga. Narrating on the exclusion of Atabaques at the Capoeira School of Mestre Bimba, in Bahia, he notifies how the same state of affairs happened in his Roda in Australia.

Canta Capuêra

Introdução      Foreword

A cultura da luta de Capuêra {Kaa-puera; Capoeira; Capuera; Capoera etc.} que foi inventada pra derrubar a tirania dos europeus se originou no Brasil colonial, através da insubordinação dos escravizados. A Capuêra brasileira é uma arma potente e uma luta social que agrega a mistura das culturas proviniente dos Povos da América Latina, africanos e europeus. A minha cultura de Capuêra incorpora o legado da luta do Povo Quilombola brasileiro contra a escravidão. Nossas tradições capuerísticas no Brasil tem uma metáfora que diz: Capuêra é tudo o que a boca come; e a mente digere. A cultura da Capuêra brasileira de fato certifica a totalidade das nossas vidas sendo gingadas na Roda do Planeta Terra. Portanto, eu ensino que a palavra brasileira que nomeia a cultura de Capoeira é um nome próprio e deve ser redigida corretamente com letra maiúscula inicial [C]. O apelido de {capoeira} que escreve-se em minúsculas identifica os galinheiros de Portugal.

The Capuêra culture {Kaa-puera; Capoeira; Capuera; Capoera, etc.} that originated in colonial Brazil through the defiance of the enslaved was aimed to overthrow oppression. Thus, Brazilian Capuêra is a powerful social weapon that combines the mix of cultures from the People of Latin America, African and European. My Capuêra culture embodies the legacy of the Brazilian Quilombola People's struggle against discrimination. It is no wonder why our traditions in Brazil extol this saying: Capuêra is everything the mouth eats; and the mind digests. Definitely, Capuêra certifies the totality of our lives in our Planet Earth’s Roda. So, I teach that the Brazilian word that names the culture of Capoeira is a proper name and must be correctly written with an initial capital letter [C]. The nickname {capoeira} written in lowercase identifies Portugal's chicken
