To recognize all that Mestra Márcia has accomplished, and all that she continues to do for the capoeira community, ACSF students donated funds and frequent flyer miles to send her to Brazil to attend ZUMBIMBA this past week.

ZUMBIMBA is an educational event hosted by Mestre Camisa at the CEMB (Centro Educacional Mestre Bimba) Farm in the interior of Rio de Janeiro. The final weekend of the event is a unique opportunity for all the Mestrandos and Mestres of the group to foster discussions and recover vital information on the roots of the art, stemming from the eras of Zumbi dos Palmares and Mestre Bimba two prominent leaders in the establishment of capoeira.

We are glad Mestra Márcia was able to attend this important event, and eager for her to share information and stories from her journey upon her return.
