One of the manifestations recorded by Djalma Corrêa in Bahia in the 1970s was Capoeira. In his research, Djalma photographed and recorded the tones and songs of two Salvador Masters: Mestre Caiçara and Mestre Gato. Antônio Carlos Moraes, Mestre Caiçara, was one of the master exponents of the first half of the twentieth century, alongside Bimba and Pastinha. Born in São Felix Waterfall, he brought in all the musicality of the Bahian recôncavo culture, being  known as a great singer and having recorded, in 1973, two more important albums of Capoeira  Angola - Capoeira Angola  Academy - São Jorge of the United Brothers of Mestre Caiçara. In his repertoire, besides capoeira, he always included many sambas de roda.

Capoeira is present today throughout Brazil and in several countries of the world representing a wide network of practices difficult to define. In 2008, the Craft of Capoeira Masters and the Capoeira Wheel were registered as cultural heritage of Brazil. Capoeira Angola, practiced by Mestre Caiçara, has as one of its marks the appreciation of Afro-Brazilian traditions and African heritage. According to the researcher Flávia Chachinesk Diniz, she was described by researchers as well as by the capoeirista as: "struggle, play, play, art, culture, life philosophy, political practice, popular culture, ritual traditional culture, oral culture, heritage Immaterial Brazilian ". Diniz, in his thesis, seeks to identify the musical elements in transit between Capoeira Angola, Samba de Roda, Candomblé de Nação Angola and Cult ao Caboclo. Mestre Caiçara also transited through this broad universe of popular culture in Bahia.
