The songs in the Capoeira roda are usually Portuguese. I've only heard Brazilian Portuguese in a roda but don't imagine Capoeira being played in Angola would call for that.

Been doing capoeira angola for a few years now. I tell all Afro-descendant people to do it

I thought it was possibly a local Angolan language, I don't know any Portuguese and my gauge was that it didn't sound like Spanish so I assumed it wasn't Portuguese

It very could be a local language. I was just going off personal experience.

It's interesting either way. My mestre was Brazilian and, thus, he spoke and sang in Brazilian Portuguese. In telling us the history of Capoeira, given it's Brazilian roots, I assumed it is always played in that language. Played in roda once in SE Asia and they were still singing in Portuguese.

What I find interesting is there is a style in Capoeira called Angola; it is played with the slowest toques. I think Capoeira in Brazil was still started by slaves from Angola. Given its Portuguese influence (Angola), perhaps that is how Portuguese got to Brazil in the first place...not entirely sure.

Capoeira angola is believed to be closest to the original capoeira practiced by enslaved Africans from Angola
