HERANCA NATIVA

The Herança Nativa festival is a superb project to showcase the cultures of the peoples of Ceara, organized by the Ceara SESC. The "ciganos" (gypsies from Europe, of whom there are nearly 600,000 in Brazil), the Amerindian communities, the Sertanejos and Serranos, as well as the quilombola communities (from the quilombos, villages made up of slaves who fled the oppression of European and Brazilian masters), constitute an immense cultural wealth that is too little known and recognized. Every year, the SESC promotes this intangible heritage.
