A Brief History of Filhos da Bahia
Mestre Val founded the group in 1983 in Salvador, and christened it the ‘Associação de Capoeira Filhos da Bahia’ after coming back from a trip to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In naming the group, he wanted to honour the name of his birth state "Bahia" and as he also wanted to represent all his brothers, friends and even his master, who grew up as children in Bahia, he came up with Filhos da Bahia (sons of Bahia).
Filhos da Bahia is represented in Brazil by Mestre Alfredo’s main school (Jequie, Bahia) and in Japan, Korea, New Caledonia, France and Australia by Mestre Val ( Melbourne) and Contra-Mestre Nei Boa Morte (Sydney). Across the branches in Brazil, Japan, Korea, New Caledonia, France and Australia (NSW, Northern Territory, South Australia and Victoria) the group consists of over 2.000 members.
