This website is dedicated to Mestre Carlos Aceituno, his work, and his vision of Kintuari in working with youth. Kintuari is a word originating from the Congo, Africa which means "unity". Unity is representative of Mestre Aceituno's persistent and unyeilding work in successfully bringing people together, outreaching to youth, and nourishing the community through the arts. Kintuari is a word translated and given to him by his dear friend, Malonga Casquelourd, and so became the name he used to identify his chapter of Omulu Capoeira Group, Omulu Kintuari Chapter.

Mestre Aceituno was a young Mestre who gave so much and expected nothing in return. He was intensive in bringing people together in a forum of Afro-Brazilian arts where people from all demographics could come together and form a healthy community. In the year 2000, he made Capoeira history! He was the first person to be given a Formatuda ceremony in the United States where he was awarded the prestigious red cord by Mestre Preguiça and thus earning the title of Mestrando. Through his continued work and contributions to Capoeira, the Capoeira community came to regard him as a Mestre of Capoeira. 

Mestre Aceituno was a prominent leader and artist in the Bay Area and his contributions were honorably recognized posthumously by the Bay Area community. On March 31st, 2007 in San Jose, he was honored by the Cesar Chavez family with the "Si Se Peude" award; an award considered as one author wrote, "only fitting for a man that embodies the core values of Cesar Chavez and lived them in every day life". On May 18, 2007, Mayor Gavin Newsome and the city of San Francisco honored Mestre Carlos Aceituno with a city proclaimation declaring May 18th as "Mestre Carlos Aceituno Day".

Mestre Aceituno served as a major contributor to the increasing exposure of Afro-Brazilian arts and culture in the United States (especially California) and Canada. His contributions to the community has helped numerous people, young and older, through his successful outreaching efforts via his works in Capoeira, Samba drum and dance, and Condomble drum and dance. In Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, his legacy continues through the succession of his instructor students.
