The arrival of African slaves to Brazil in conditions was the basis for this rich culture of miscegenation between Indians, Portuguese and Africans, who may be called as Brazilians. Since they arrived blacks were imposed on them a new way of conduct, in which the Portuguese believed to be the most appropriate for a distinct ethnicity of its origins. So in slaves captive conditions needed to suit specific requirements by their masters in order to avoid the antipathy of society towards them. Although reinvent themselves, Africans have not abandoned the values of their homelands.

Thus arose one of the most important figures of the african-Brazilian scenario, the Bahian black. These women resisted their ideology, their identity and culture, with the irreverent way of dressing, staying alive his figure to this day.

The pieces shall be prepared in a contemporary way, but with cultural values with the desire to awaken the audience's admiration regarding your identity.
