Afoxé Filhos de Gandhy in the rhythm of faith
Colorado do Brás is back in the Special Group of the São Paulo Carnival and promises to thrill the audience with the theme Afoxé Filhos de Gandhy in the rhythm of faith
, developed by carnival designer Anselmo Brito. The school will take to the Anhembi Sambadrome the story of the traditional Bahian afoxé Filhos de Gandhy, founded in 1948 by longshoremen from Salvador.
Inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, the group has established itself as a symbol of peace, parading in its white robes and blue turbans on the streets of the capital of Bahia. Today, Filhos de Gandhy is recognized as the largest afoxé in the world by the Guinness Book and a cultural heritage of Bahia.
In the parade, Colorado promises to unite tradition, luxury and emotion, exalting the strength of Afro-Brazilian rhythms and taking a message of spirituality and resistance to the avenue. The expectation is for a show marked by colors, percussion and representation, extolling Afro culture on the biggest stage of samba.
Excerpt from the Samba-Enredo:
Mandou chamar todos orixás
A falange de Ogum renascerá
Santa Luzia, Camafeu e Oxumarê
Vem pra Bahia me proteger...
