A native of Rio de Janeiro, Mestre Beiçola is the son of a musician and capoeirista, and has devoted his life to keeping the rich traditions of African-Brazilian culture alive and thriving throughout the world. Mestre Beiçola is a 22-year master of Capoeira. He is also a choreographer and songwriter, having mastered a litany of Brazilian instruments and dances as well - knowledge he shares with audiences and students in his San Francisco Bay Area base and beyond. Mestre Beiçola's work has included theatrical performances and master workshops in Spain, France, Germany, Guam, Saipan, as well as a national tour of Broadway, Hollywood and Las Vegas with the international samba extravaganza, "Oba Oba."

A warm and dynamic instructor, Mestre Beiçola currently teaches Capoeira, dance and percussion and directs a performing company and samba school. His students represent the rich array of California's residents: high-tech engineers, homeless families, inner-city school children, and university students. Mestre Beiçola has developed Capoeira programs in the United States and around the world, influenced by his Brazilian heritage, and studies in Indian spiritual philosophy. In Brazil, Mestre Beiçola's students continue to thrive in a strong Capoeira network he created. Under the title "Capoeira Besouro," hundreds of Brazilians in two states - Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santos - study under the tutelage of his graduated students, five of whom have also earned the degree of Mestre.
