Actually it was developed by Aficans before they were slaves, then when they were brought to brazil they taught it there. Just a nit pic. Sorry face

There is still some african tribes that do a very similar "dancing" martial art. It's less fluid than it's Brazilian offspring but some of the movements are the same.
