Originally from Angola. :) but developed further in Brazil. (since most of
the slaves was brought to brazil)

Was developed in a form of "dance" to avoid being arrested when they
practice. Also they usually have knifes on tied to their heels when they
assassinate policemen. Was illegal in brazil for a while to practice. Only
not too long ago it became a cultural thing for Brazil.
