The original Afrobloco -- Ile Aiye holds a mythical place in the heart of Brazil. The group, a mighty drum-fueled celebration of Afro-Brazilian history, culture and pride, first began parading through the streets of Salvador Bahia’s carnival in 1974. The group formed in a house of the candomblé religion, with a name that comes from Yoruba - launched as a joyous resistance against racism and the dictatorship of the era that made carnival a whites-only event. Fifty years later, the gorgeous red-yellow-black costumes and fabric of Ile Aiye is one of Bahia’s most beloved sights. The 20+ member group of musicians and dancers is traveling across Europe and the US, including this special date at the Bandshell.The evening also features a screening of Brazilian Beats II, and a set by popular Miamibloco's Bateria Saideira and other special guests.
Food & beverage are available for purchase at the show. The Bandshell is an open-air covered venue, all programs are rain or shine. Your ticket, once purchased, is non-refundable. Any questions? [email protected]
