Pulsing drum beats, spectacular costumes, and infectious call-and-response songs will take you away to the northeast coast of Brazil. Steeped in both African and indigenous traditions, Maracatu is the dynamic, propelling rhythm of life’s celebrations.

On this premiere U.S. tour, these two groups deliver a faithfully reincarnated pageant with bold contemporary

*This tour of Maracatu Nação Estrela Brilhante is made possible through Southern Exposure: Performing Arts of Latin America, a program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation.
