A Matriz Afro

Black people of the so-called African tropical civilization appear as one of the main aspects of the winged process of building Brazilian society and culture. Engaged in the largest movement of compulsory migration to date, they began to reach our tropics in the first half of the sixteenth century. And here they brought, besides the genetic repertoire, a whole range of technical procedures and symbolic creations. Firstly, the slave trade was mainly done with sub-equatorial Africa. It is the flow of black Bantu, coming from regions of Angola and Congo. Later, some of the Brazilian traffic turned to over-equatorial Africa, to the Costa da Mina and Benin Bay, to the west side of the Atlantic, mainly to Bahia and Pernambuco, ewe-yoruba peoples from ancient Dahomey. or from the mighty Yoruban kingdom of Oio. In the program The Matrix Afro we should exhibit the strength, refinement and richness of this set of black African cultures, which fascinated the European aesthetic-intellectual vanguards in the first decades of the twentieth century.
