Mestre Gato Preto (lit. Black Cat, 1929-2002) was a mestre of traditional capoeira Angola.
He was born in Santo Amaro de Purificaçao on March 19, 1929, and acquired his capoeira skills during his childhood under the guidance of his father, Eutiquio Lucio Chagas, a renowned capoeirista from Santo Amaro. He continued to hone his Capoeira skills through training with Cobrinha Verde, Mestre Leon, and Mestre Waldemar.[1]
He was among the mestres, including Mestre Pastinha, mestre João Grande, and Camafeu de Oxossi, who represented Brazil at the inaugural Black Art Festival in Dakar in 1966.[1]
He passed away in 2002.
