Some Meanings of the Word Mandinga
Different than the literal translation given by the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary, the word Mandinga has its own meaning in the capoeira world. The Aurelio dictionary translates the word mandinga as a "magic" or "spell." In some senses that meaning applies to capoeira, but in a different context.
