Maracatu

One of the most important cultural expressions in the state of Pernambuco is the Maracatu, an afro-brazilian performance genre. A group of Maracatu performers is called a 'nation'- a few years ago, I followed one of the most traditional nations for a few days while they toured the state performing during Carnaval.
