Opening the Black Consciousness Month work at the Vale Maranhão Cultural Center, we will welcome the groups of Drum by Crioula de Santa Fé and Carinho de São Benedito. The presentations will take place, respectively, on November 7 and 14, starting at 19:00 in the Open Courtyard of the CCVM.
With over twenty years of existence, the Santa Fé Creole Drum performs in various aspects throughout its trajectory: training projects, dance workshops, singing, instruments and percussion of the Creole drum, in addition to its traditional participation in the carnival cycle and the June festivities.
Founded in 1976 in the Coroadinho neighborhood, Tambor de Mestra Analice has – among its instruments – the matraca, traditionally used in Bumba Meu Boi. The “Carinho de São Benedito” has more than twenty members, including drummers, matraqueiros, coreiras and singers.
Both presentations are free of charge. The CCVM is located at Rua Direita, 149, São Luís Historic Center.
