Headquartered in the town of Santa Rita, in Matinha, Linda Joia de São João has more than 130 members, under the leadership of Dona Capitolina Melônio. Ulisses Mendonça is the game boss and singer, alongside Matias, Neco and Belarmino.
The game, in the Baixada accent, has more than sixty years of tradition. Among the players, the saint’s loader, Maria do Espírito Santo, is one of the highlights with her John the Child. Marking boxes dictate the ox’s pace. The Cazumbas invite you to check out the last Open Patio in August!
The presentation “Playing with Beautiful Joia” will take place this Thursday (29), at 19:00 in another free program from the CCVM Open Courtyard.
