Acording to wikipedia (not much reliable but good start for info) "Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that makes a ritual of movements from martial arts, games, and dance."
In Mexico there are many people from many parts of the world, including people from central and south america, many of the came here because it is in the way to the USA, but stay, because they couldn't make it to the border, or may be because they find a way of living here.
In the mid and late 90's a lot of people came from Brazil and Argentina, I remember having brazilian classmates when in Junior high, but due to the lack of compatibility of the education systems they where far older, I was 14 years and them were 18 (ready to college) it was nightmare to them (I guess)
Also we see the opening of brazilian restaurants in the city, and the opening of Capoeira schools (this is one of the schools) they perform in public every weekend, why?, I don't know. The students are mexican, and they need to learn fight, dance, sing, and to play an instrument.
