Pronunciation
I don't speak Portuguese, but I've done Capoeira for years with people who do. Most of them tap the "r" in the word so it sounds like a "d". It's usually a sign that someone doesn't know their stuff when they say "cap-O-WHERE-ruh instead of Cap-uh-WEY-duh. It seems to me like the phonetics on this page are wrong, but again, not a speaker of Portuguese, so I wanted to ask here of someone who does and also understand those phonetics. Thanks.

Spiritual elements?
The article mentions that it was accepted after some 'spiritual elements' were removed from the practice.
WHAT 'spiritual' elements were there in it which were removed?
"Shortly after the abolition of slavery in Brazil in 1888, capoeira was declared illegal in 1890.[16] However, in the early 1930s, Mestre Bimba created a form of capoeira that held back on its spiritual elements and incorporated elements of jiu jitsu, gymnastics and sports.[17] In doing so, the government viewed capoeira as a socially acceptable sport."
