Capoeira Letras

A searchable database of capoeira song lyrics. Built to help practitioners find and learn the songs of the tradition.

What Happened

Originally intended as a mobile app, but could not achieve app store approval due to copyright concerns. This is a frustrating mismatch—most capoeira songs are folkloric, passed down through oral tradition, belonging to the community rather than any individual. But the app store review process doesn't accommodate that nuance.

The web version remains available.
