Lavagem da Rua 46 em New York

BECOME A BAIANA

The Baianas are the life of our parade!

Become a Baiana for a day and pay tribute to the fantastic history behind the woman with white tailored upper garment, white flowing huge skirts with broad sashes, abundance of necklaces and jewelry, pleasing graceful appearance, good fortune and contentment.

She endured changes from the beginning of the 16th century in the household with a determination to become a leader and make fundamental changes to their society.

Today we are proud to help her maintain her tradition and perpetuate the legacy which still fascinates and had gained respect from past admirers like Carmen Miranda whose inspirational costumes and jewelry were derived from the traditional Baiana.

This year the States of Recife and Rio de Janeiro will be added to the sections of the Lavagem parade, anyone wishing to sign up, feel free to do so.

Please send your information as soon as possible specifying which section below you'd like to participate in.
