Stone Dobrão
Capoeira
The dobrão is a thick stone or coin used to play the berimbau. It is used to change the tension on the arame or string, in order to change the pitch and quality of the sound being played. The dobrão can also be called pedra (stone) or moeda (coin).

Batería - Berimbau
Capoeira
The berimbau is an African instrument that leads the batería in capoeira. It is considered a percussion instrument and consists of a wooden bow called verga (made from the wood of the beriba tree), a single metal string called arame, a hollow gourd called a cabaça, a stone or coin called a dobrão, a thin stick called baqueta and a small shaker called a caxixi. The style of capoeira being played dictates the number, arrangement, and rhythms of berimbaus in the batería.

Capoeira is an afro-Brazilian martial art developed in Brazil in the 16th Century. Capoeira is now practiced throughout the world, in schools led by mestres. Capoeiristas of all cultures are invited to learn, participate and be a part of capoeira groups and schools. As a cultural tradition, capoeira was granted a special protected status as “intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2014.
