Mestre Carlos was our capoeira mestre, dance and music teacher. He was a dear friend and one of our greatest mentors. On September 27th, 2006, His life ended abruptly and way too early. He dedicated his life to the arts and as his students, we strive to continue his legacy in his name.

Thank you Mestre, for everything!
April 9, 1961 - September 27, 2006

Nascue na guatemala
filho de indio
energia de negro
coraçao brasileiro

Viveu para arta
mostrou seu samba
nao tinha dinheiro
mais tinha fama

Sua familia, seus amigos
era sua fortuna
homem do povo
homem da cultura
