Goli Almerinda de Sales Guerreiro

The documentary that began together with Mestre Môa do Katendê before his political murder, tells the life story of this capoeirista and founder of Afoxé Badauê, intertwined with the rise of black cultural manifestations in Bahia, based on a last interview left by him.

The friendship between Jorge Amado, Dorival Caymmi, and Carybé, artists who were largely responsible for creating an image of the culture of Bahia that persists to this day, and who believed that the strength of their work lay in documenting what they saw on the streets.

The work celebrates the Carnival of Salvador and explores the festival's importance to the city, Afro-Brazilian culture, politics, and musicality. Featuring scenes of Carnival festivities and famous landmarks, the documentary presents testimonies from anthropologist Goli Guerreiro, musician Mestre Jackson, conductor Ubiratan Marques, and filmmaker Matheus Rocha.
