Get on with the washerwomen's song

The washerwomen from the Jequitinhonha Valley, region located in the Northeast of Minas Gerais, Brazil, are old songs keepers - batuques, sambas, afoxés, frevos, rodas, modinhas and toadas (Brazilian rhythms and beatings)- which origin is lost in time's memory. They are working, playing and laudation canticles, influenced by the African, Indian and Portuguese tradition. They reveal the ethnic blending that bred the rich Brazilian Popular Music.

The history of "The Choir of the Washerwomen" began in 1991 when they were encouraged by the she singer and cultural researcher Carlos Farias and started to sing as a group and built up an association in the city of Almenara, where they still live. The recording of the CD-Book "Batukim Brasileiro", a gathering part of this collection, and its launching at Ilha da Madeira - Portugal, in 2002, just like the fulfilling of a victorious tour over many Brazilian Cities, consolidated a work that quests for enriching Brazilian immaterial cultural heritage, generate income and promote social inclusion. "Aqua", released in 2005 by Carlos Farias, is the sequence of this project. The rhythm and the lyrics reveal the interbreeding and the Brazilian religious blending. It really worth listening to CDs, and specially be touched by their in live performance. In both situations, the fusion of their voices with the sounds from the drums, the rattles, the guitars and the flutes create a revealing and fascinating presentation of the Brazilian soul."
