Mestre Lazaro A. Santos da Bahia

Capoeira Brazilian Pelourinho was founded by Mestre Lazaro da Bahia in 1995.  He was born in Bahia, Brazil and has developed a unique style of teaching forged through his experience and dedication to the art of Capoeira.  As many Capoeristas in Bahia, Mestre Lazaro started his training at an early age.  His Mestre was Mestre Dinho of Grupo Internacional de Capoeira Topazio who taught him very well.  He persevered and eventually graduated as a Master of Capoeira.  He then found himself experiencing world travel which allowed him to demonstrate Capoeira to a larger audience.  Today, Lazaro is a well-known Mestre in the state of Florida. Mestre Lazaro finds great pleasure in teaching Capoeira and giving back to the community in any way he can.
