*A note on the word VADIAR: This word comes up a lot in capoeira music and doesn't have a perfect English counterpart. In capoeira it refers to the style and manner of playing and to the roda itself. It loosely translates to fiddling around, loafing about, or wasting time. It isn't used in a negative connotation however- it's more to say "play around" or "goof off".
**Mandinga: This word could have it's own blog post (and likely has many actually), but it refers to the deception, trickery, and magical qualities a capoeirista may have in the game.
***This is the noun form of the verb vadiar, explained above.
