Capoeira instruments

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines dance, music, and acrobatics. Key instruments include the **Berimbau**, a single-string instrument that sets the rhythm; the **Atabaque**, a large drum that provides deep beats; the **Pandeiro**, a hand frame drum that adds texture; and the **Agogô**, a metal bell that contributes sharp, clear sounds. These instruments are essential in creating the lively music that accompanies Capoeira, guiding the movements and enhancing the communal spirit of the practice. Together, they form a rich auditory backdrop that reflects the culture and energy of Capoeira.
