It has been developed by all ethnicities, because capoeira is a dynamic art that has changed constantly even from it's birth. As far as originating capoeira, it's difficult to say the particular ethnic groups, because slaves were tended not to be from the ports where they were bought in Africa, but from the interior. With a certain degree of certainty we can say that it was largely West-Central African peoples in Brazil who originated it (Congolese and Angolan, generally).
