Rosário: Tambor e Fé (Rosary: Drum and Faith)

De Oliveira, Bosco

Abstract

In this program we will look into one of the most fascinating Afro-Brazilian musical traditions: the Congado. Very popular in the State of Minas Gerais, in the SE of Brazil, the Congado is more than just a musical tradition; it is a way of life. Also known as Reinado (meaning reign or realm) it celebrates catholic saints and at the same time it honours ancestors and the King and Queen of Congo.
