Sonhos de Palmares
from Sonido Mundial Hosted by Seringueiro
It's been 9 months since I've mixed anything, but finally here's a follow-up to Sonhos de Capoeira. This one's dedicated to Palmares, the settlement of runaway and free-born Africans––along with some indigenous Brazilians––founded around 1600 in the Serra da Barriga hills of northeastern Brazil. Forced to defend themselves against repeated attacks by Portuguese colonial power, legend has it that the inhabitants of Palmares were experts in capoeira. The most famous member of Palmares was Zumbi, the last of the leaders of the Quilombo dos Palmares.
