The Brazilian berimbau is a musical bow that is most commonly associated with the martial art/dance/game of capoeira. Both of these have descended from African cultures, and as a result, are strong icons of Afrocentric identity in Brazil. Consequently, representation of the berimbau and capoeira tend to remain connected to the past (e.g. something that "developed during times of slavery”). Within the music of the group Berimbrown, the berimbau serves as a focal point of their musical identity. Since the 8 members of Berimbrown are pushing against boundaries of "tradition," they are developing musical and cultural fusions that help to articulate a contemporary identity of Brazilianness that directly confronts issues of race and marginalization of Afro-Brazilians in urban communities. facebook.com
