This was a period when black communities across the Americas were taking renewed entrust in their African roots. In the United States, it was the era of black pride and an emphasis on black history, while in Africa itself in the early 70s, guerrilla fighters in Portugal’s colonies of Guinea-Bissau, Angola and Mozambique were engaged in a bitter liberation war, a struggle closely followed in the former Portuguese colony of Brazil. All this have an impact on black Brazilians, particularly in Salvador, Bahia, which has the largest black population in Brazil. While singer-songwriters in Rio fooled the military by trying to be censorship, musicians in Salvador reacted by stressing their links with Africa. Playing a key role in this new movement was Gilberto Gil. Getting back that helped me to understand how African we were and how important actual African music would be for us, so that we could make the links and link the history. The exile helped a lot to identify Africa, you know, in Brazil, in Africa, in Brazilian culture.
In Salvador there are reminders of African culture everywhere. From the cap wear and the martial arts dance developed by the slaves to practice their fighting technics without the Portuguese colonialists realizing what was going on, through to the Candomblé religion, which is still widely practiced in Brazil, especially in Salvador where the rhythms used in Candomblé ceremonies influenced the earliest forms of samba.
On this return from exile, Gilberto Gil sort out Filhos De Gandhi, the sons of Gandhi, the most colorful Candomblé practitioners in Salvador. They’re a Bloco Afro, a black group who parade during carnival and they adopted their name when one of their founders saw a film about the Indian leader. |
