From Africa to Brazil - The Afro Brazilian Folkloric Show

From Africa to Brazil – The Afro Brazilian Folkloric Show

Dance & Movement

Artist: Afro-Brazilian Cultural Center of NJ

Type: Assembly Performances

The ensemble brings the rich African influenced rhythms and dances originating in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, a region known for customs deeply rooted in the traditions and spirituality of ancestral Africa. Our ensemble tells the story of Africans brought to Brazil as slaves. To alleviate the suffering and preserve their identity they maintained their rituals, dances and fighting arts that gradually became part of the culture of Brazil. Our troupe of dancers, musicians, and singers perform a repertory based on the folkloric dances of African origin and includes Capoeira (a martial art disguised as a dance), Samba and Maculêlê that celebrate the Afro-Brazilian spirit. The ensemble presents Brazil’s most important cultural manifestations under a contemporary theatrical vision that reflects its magnificent origins. North of Trenton only.

“Thank you so much for not only one but two absolutely wonderful performances. Our staff and students had a great time and the energy was unmatched. We loved learning about Afro-Brazilian Culture and the teachers enjoyed having the opportunity to participate. We are still talking about it today.”
