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.
We are not-for-profit and run entirely by individuals like
you who are willing and committed to us. Since we are run
entirely by volunteers, we need all the help we can get.
Thank you for your willingness to join in our efforts!
Unfortunately,
this year we have exceeded the limit for our section of
Baianas for the Lavagem, however we have created a
waiting list.
Anyone wishing to sign
in can feel free to do so and you will be notified should
an opening be available.
The sections of
Recife and Rio de Janeiro for the Lavagem are
still open. Please send your information as soon as
possible, specifying which section you'd like to
participate in.
The costume or dance options are the following:
Frevo representing Recife
Cidade Maravilhosa Rio de Janeiro
We make every effort to give everyone who
volunteers as a Baiana a place in the Parade.
Bring your friends and join us!
