Maracatudo Mafua

Maracatudo Mafua stands for the rhythms and movements of Brazil's Northeast State of Brazil - Pernambuco. Having one of the most traditional maracatu groups , MARACATU NACAO CAMALEAO as God father, we bring maracatu and ciranda to UK.

Our colours represent the orixas and energies we get inspired from Yellow for Oxum ( wealth), Red/Pink for Iansa ( Strenght) and White for Oxala ( Peace) and through the songs we express the message and poetry that this incredible culture has!
