During the nineteenth century the Northeastern economy based on sugar cane performed less well than the coffee in the Southeast. The gap widened during the twentieth century and resulted in the region being perceived as backward and underdeveloped compared to the South and the Southeast. The economic underperformance was followed by the loss of political influence at federal level. The 1930 revolution imposed non-elected governors (interventores)—often from the South—in states that had formerly claimed national pro-eminence, such as Bahia and Pernambuco.

As with everybody else, their discourse changes over time, according to shifts in their world views and to the new developments of the art. Any new information is processed and integrated into their current interpretation. It is thus methodologically unsound to expect them to separate neatly the knowledge they received through oral tradition from the information gathered through other means. For instance, no mestre ever mentioned n’golo prior to Neves e Souza’s visit to Brazil and Câmara Cascudo’s publications, and it is therefore fallacious to use later interviews, where mestres reflect over that important new element, as ‘evidence’ of a genuine oral tradition remembering the distant capoeira origins.
