Abada
Abadá
In
Brazil, Abadá is a kind of
robe brought by
African Muslims that were brought to
Bahia to work as
slaves. The word is also used to refer to the pants worn by
capoeristas and for shirts sold in some
carnivals or
shows, that allow or complement
admission to the event.Original abadás were white. Capoeira abadás are generally white and sport the capoeira school's
logo (usually on the left leg). However, there are generic abadás that some school train in, reserving their uniform abadá for demonstrations. In addition, some capoeira schools allow any exercise pants for training. Several schools stick to white as a symbol of purity, representing the pure martial art of capoeira.
