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.

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!
