The question Vaqueirada
History of Carlos Silva - Sao Paulo, Brasil
The question Vaqueirada refers to the representation of the typical activities and customs of cowboys from the Amazon region during the presentations of the bois-bumbás. Cowgirls are an important part of local folklore, and their representation in ox performances includes aspects such as the cowboys' traditional clothing, their riding and roping skills, as well as possible interactions with other elements of the performance, such as the ox and other characters. Fidelity to the cowboy tradition, authenticity in the representation of activities and the visual and emotional impact of cowgirls on the public are considered by the judges when evaluating this aspect.
