La increíble historia de la Capoeira
by Mestre Ricardo Cachorro
La increíble historia de la Capoeira / Mestre Ricardo Cachorro La capoeira, una disciplina original afrobrasileña, es bastante difícil de definir dadas sus múltiples facetas, como arte marcial mortal y danza exótica, que se inspira en una antigua cultura remota. Casi cuatrocientos años de trata de esclavos han legado a Brasil un patrimonio cultural envidiable, basado en una afluencia continua de diversos grupos étnicos que, en combinación con las distintas expresiones regionales autóctonas, africanas y europeas y sus constantes cambios geopolíticos, ha producido una única, colorida y vibrante sociedad multicultural y multiétnica inmersa en su nueva identidad brasileña. Del siglo XVIII al XIX, las duras condiciones a las que fueron sometidos los esclavos negros llevaron a una creciente ola de revueltas de esclavos en las Américas, donde los fugitivos formaron comunidades cimarronas independientes en las Antillas francesas, españolas, británicas y holandesas, así como las comunidades quilombolas en Brasil y emprendieron guerras de guerrillas contra los amos y dueños de plantaciones, dando lugar a campañas contra la esclavitud en Europa y a la abolición de la esclavitud en las Américas. La capoeira fue el resultado de la experiencia diaspórica propia de Brasil, una rama de un gran árbol que creció hasta convertirse en un arte social único y complejo, que no se puede disociar de su perspectiva histórica y antropológica. La increíble historia de la Capoeira, escrita por el experto brasileño en capoeira Ricardo Mestre Cachorro, da a conocer la Era de la exploración y la trata de esclavos resultante y presenta la esclavitud africana ya en el siglo XV, mucho antes de que los esclavos negros fueran llevados al Nuevo Mundo. La fascinante saga de la familia Akindele, del hermoso reino yoruba de Adágún Lwá, le llevará al seno del África precolonial y a las tierras de la recién explorada Bahía de Todos los Santos en 1531, donde comenzó la historia casi sagrada de la capoeira. De los nuevos hallazgos en África a los descubrimientos en Brasil, este libro cautivante navega a través de las feitorías y capitanías —los molinos de caña del siglo 17— la verdadera y casi desconocida cuna de la capoeira. Saca a luz hermosos aspectos históricos y culturales de los períodos coloniales, con sus artes, su música y su religión, el crisol africano que se formó de la fusión de las antiguas culturas de África y de los nuevos escenarios rurales y urbanos afrobrasileños y, por último, los antiguos y los modernos creadores de la capoeira. La increíble historia de la Capoeira es una delicia para todos los aficionados, los profesionales y los instructores de capoeira que desean saber más acerca de esta original disciplina afrobrasileña, así como para estudiantes de historia, antropología, arte, música, teatro y ámbitos anexos, desde el investigador académico al amante curioso de la historia y la cultura. Se prevé la publicación de una versión en inglés, en la primavera de 2011. Si todo esto le hace desear dedicarse a la práctica del arte de la capoeira en la roda, le recomendamos leer: LA DESCONOCIDA CAPOEIRA - Secretos ocultos de la capoeira brasileña original

FictionOn The Ninth Day
by Jenny Gill
This is book number 7 in the Southhill Sagas, set in Surrey to the south of London, although each book in the series stands alone. You know how you have a day when nothing you do goes right? The traffic holds you up, makes you late for work, you snag your tights then you get caught in the rain? ‘Just one of those days’ you say. Well for Annie, a struggling single mum, and her family it is just the opposite – it seems nothing can go wrong. Not just one day, either. And it’s not just the little things but some surprisingly big things too. It all seems too good to be true, to Annie. She is convinced there is an unseen force at work, perhaps something to do with the funny lights she thinks she’s seen between her apple trees. Her friends disagree – they say after all the bad luck she’s had Annie deserves some good luck. It’s only her just deserts. Meanwhile her neighbours, both to the side and behind her, have some surprisingly good fortune of their own. Smudge, Annie’s beautiful tortoiseshell cat, who spreads her favours around the neighbourhood, is the only one who sees the big picture. And if Smudge knows the answer, she isn’t telling.

Picture books, activity books & early learning materialFebruary 2022Nenek Tata and the Mangrove Menace
by Judith Vun Price, Jacqui Vun
Stories about grandparents delight children. So, when children read how Nenek Tata’s adventure on what started out as a normal day turns a bit scary, their delight will explode. It’s all because this day turns out to be not-so-normal. When Nenek Tata gets inside the gloomy jungles of the swamp, a huge, dripping, brown monster emerges. And, when the monster follows her, she must defend her home to the last … until she discovers the monster’s identity. This scary story is set in Malaysia’s eastern-most state of Sabah and is told in the style of a Malaysian hantu folk tale. Its little bit of fright delights children because of the funny twist in the end. In the way many stories grandparents tell young children, this one entertains while teaching them about the dangers of the swamps and jungles. Illustrations show reflections of stories about grandparents. Dynamic, full-colour illustrations transform the tranquil landscape as the storm approaches and the drama unfolds. Consequently, the growing mystery draws the reader in: What is this monster, where did it come from? Artful storytelling captures north Borneo’s beautiful native vegetation and animals, and exquisite textures and patterns. It shows children and adults interested in distant times and places a melding of cultures. This fine attention to detail offers young readers a wild and rollicking adventure, keeping them on the edge of their seats to the very end.

October 2020A Great Big Night
by Kate Inglis (author), Josée Bisaillon (illustrator)
When three travelling frog musicians roll through the forest on their painted bicycles, the other animals know they’re in for a great big party. Only one of them is not having fun: grumpy old grouse. Just as he’s telling everyone to stop with their foolish racket, their ruckus, their riff-raff, a great big storm rolls through the woods and puts an end to all the fun. When they emerge in the sleepy, dewy dawn, the animals see that grouse’s home is ruined, and quickly band together to help him. Together, the frog musicians and their friends show grouse that music is for more than just a party: a fiddle, a golden guitar, and a drum, when played just right, can do just as much good as the knock-knock-bang of fixing and making brand-new.
