i think this is from the bay area around the early 80's - mestre suassuna and mestre acordeon. mestre marcelo (capoeira mandinga), biriba, risadinha and themba among others in the roda
this an old suassuna clip with some knife play. mestre acordeon present in the roda and later comes to chill with suassuna. check out the size of that pandeiro! not sure about the exact year or source...
Mestre Acordeon (Bira Almeida) in two Bay Area rodas from the 90s. In the second game he plays mestre amen from batuque (looks like he came right off the only the strong set, right?). don't know the other people in the first clip
Mestre Jelon's Batizado 1986. First game is between Camisa and Marcelo. Pilão buys and then Carvão (both received purple cords that day). Then Ombrinho and Arrepiado play (both received blue cords that day). Jelon and Marcelo then play followed by a game between Camisa and the late Loremil Machado. Also pictured: Acordeon and Preguiça

mestre sorriso and mestre garrincha from grupo senzala as children in rio probably in the late 60s. I think sorriso is the one with the shirt playing at the beginning
Capoeira Roda in California during the parachute pants 90's. Starts with Edna Lima and Marcia Cigarra from ABADA (watch the tesoura!), continues with Mestre Marcelo (check the pants and rockin pony tail!) with Espirro Mirim (CDO). Edna Lima buys the game and finally we have Cabello (from Joao Grande's school) with Mestre Cafuringa
