In the heat of the night in Pará, after a day of work under the inclement conditions of the Amazon, people gather in the streets to play and dance the carimbó.

​

Women with huge full skirts generate wind as they pass. Men wear straw hats, no longer to protect their heads from the sun, but to compose the choreography. Artificial flowers decorate the environment: on the tables and on the girls' heads.

​

A great complicity unites each couple in the circular dance. Flowers decorate the environment: on tablecloths and table decorations, on skirts and on the girls' heads.

​

The songs speak especially of the fauna and flora of the Amazon region and the daily work in fishing and agriculture.

​

Curimbós. Maracas. thousands. Banjo. Flute. Triangle. Reco-reco. Jaguar barrel.

​

Heat. Movement. Rhythm. Happiness. Animation.

​

Only those who have seen it know that you can not leave a  roda de carimbó feeling sad.
