The International Capoeira Angola Foundation's objective is to maintain a headquarters and research center in Washington, D.C. to formalize its role as an academic and socio-multi-media library with the creation of a distribution center for instruments and publications. This multi-purpose center serves as a Capoeira Angola training school, a lecture series venue, a music, language, art/craft school and an archive research library. ICAF has established a documentation and audiovisual center on Capoeira Angola, and other related topics such as the Black movements in the United States and Brazil, child development, education, and the African Diaspora. The Foundation assists in the development of Capoeira study groups in other parts of the United States, Brazil, and Europe. The library has more than 200 books and numerous articles covering Capoeira and related topics. Our video library has about 200 videos about Afro-Brazilian Culture (Capoeira, Condomble, Samba) in English and Portuguese.
