Manoel dos Reis Machado, commonly called Mestre Bimba ((:ˈmɛstɾi ˈbĩbɐ); November 23, 1899 – February 5, 1974), was a ''mestre'' (a master practitioner) of the Afro-Brazilian martial art of "capoeira". ==Early life== Machado was born in Salvador in the year 1899 but was not officially registered until 1900, resulting in some confusion surrounding his date of birth. Despite his being born in 1899, 1900 is the date most commonly known and published. The son of Luiz Cândido Machado and Maria Martinha do Bonfim, Manoel was born at the Bairro do Engenho Velho, Salvador. The nickname "Bimba" came up due to a bet between his mother and the midwife during his birth; his mother bet that he was going to be a girl and the midwife bet he would be a boy. After he was delivered, the midwife said... it's a boy, look at his ''Bimba' (male sexual organ). He started learning capoeira when he was 12 years old, with a ''Capitão da Companhia Baiana de Navegação'' (Navigation Captain) from Estrada das Boiadas (present day Bairro da Liberdade) in Salvador, called Bentinho, even though in those days capoeira was still being persecuted by the authorities. He would later be known as one of the legendary founding fathers of contemporary capoeira, the other being Vicente Ferreira Pastinha ("Mestre Pastinha"), the father of modern ''capoeira angola''. Machado was a coal miner, carpenter, warehouse man, longshoreman, and horse coach conductor, but mainly a capoeirista. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manuel dos Reis Machado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
