Episode 22
In this episode, I dig into the topic of syncretism: what is it, how does it manifest in the Americas, and why do we as Capoeiristas care about it? I'll talk about a few brief examples in both the United Status and in Central America before looking at the most relevant example to Capoeiristas: Candomble.
