Candomblé Sacred Rhythms in Brazil (Vinyl) (Other) (ISBN-13: 9791098308048)

After their arrival in Brazil, following a traumatic crossing of the Atlantic, enslaved peoples from West Africa sought to reconstruct their sacred cultural and belief systems within a hostile environment. The terreiros (ritual grounds) they established are still active sites of worship centuries later, bearing witness to an ever-adaptive religion celebrated both in Brazil and internationally within Afro-diasporic communities. Published as a book and a double LP, Candomblé Sacred Rhythms in Brazil honors these beliefs and the musical tradition that accompanies them, while reflecting on its contemporary evolution and future possibilities.
