Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Brazil, the narrative explores the history of capoeira, an art form blending martial arts, dance, and music, primarily practiced by those of African descent. Following its prohibition in 1890, Bimba emerges as a key figure advocating for the recognition and respect of capoeira. Through lyrical prose and vibrant illustrations, the book highlights the journey of capoeira from a marginalized activity to a globally celebrated art form, eventually recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
