Capoeira flourished in the city of São Paulo since the 1960s. [[Mestre Suassuna]] was prominent figure throughout this period.{{sfn|Capoeira|2002|p=227}} [[Mestre Canjiquinha]] played important role in shaping the capoeira style that began to emerge in [[São Paulo]] during the 1960s. This evolving style, which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, drew from both Regional and Angola styles while maintaining its distinct characteristics.{{sfn|Assunção|2002|p=194}} The majority of modern practitioners affirm to be neither Angola nor Regional, emphasizing that "there is only one capoeira".{{sfn|Assunção|2002|p=199}}

This new capoeira incorporated not only [[berimbau]]s and [[pandeiro]]s but also [[atabaque]] and [[agogô]] into its musical ensemble. In contrast to Bimba's preference for quadras, these modern ''rodas'' typically commenced with [[ladainha]]s.{{sfn|Assunção|2002|p=194}} The games in these ''rodas'' often featured a fast and upright style, even though they might start with an Angola toque and a slower game.{{sfn|Assunção|2002|p=194}}

Nowadays the label ''Contemporânea'' applies to any capoeira group who don't follow Regional or Angola styles, even the ones who mix capoeira with other martial arts. Some notable groups whose style cannot be described as either Angola or Regional but rather "a style of their own", include Senzala de Santos, Cordão de Ouro and Abada. In the case of Cordão de Ouro, the style may be described as "Miudinho", a low and fast-paced game, while in Senzala de Santos the style may described simply as "Senzala de Santos", an elegant, playful combination of Angola and Regional.
