Abstract

Capoeira Angola is an expression of popular and ancestral knowledge transmitted by its songs, myths and foundations. We will try to put in evidence the relationship between it and contemporary Afro-Brazilian literature, as it occurs, for instance, in Literatura de Cordel. As it happens with Capoeira, the Literatura de Cordel has characters such as Pedro Cem, Riachão, Besouro, Pedro Mineiro, Valente Vilela, Zumbi, among others as themes of many of its verses.
