A Mestre’s Life in Capoeira Angola, Bahia, Brazil

A Graphic Novel about the practice and teachings of Gran Mestre Nô

Please support Gran Mestre Nô in telling his life's story, an oral history told through a graphic novel revealing the wisdom and mysteries of capoeira angola.

For your contribution of $75 or more, you will receive a limited edition of graphic design T-shirt honoring Gran Mestre Nô.

The 1st chapter of Gran Mestre Nô’s life will soon be complete.

Norival Moreira de Oliveira, a 7 year old boy, experiences his first Capoeira Angola roda, meets his 4 mestres, takes his first classes, enters the roda for the first time…

In his words, with my illustrations, the story illuminates a lost world colored by capoeiristas and mestres, far from the center of town.

Mestre Ombrinho
