A confiança (The Confidence)
Olinda, Brazil - 2023
The Carnaval of Olinda, on the north east coast of Brazil, is a week of high energy and exuberance. Dancers and musicians perform in Blocos that progress slowly through the streets of the beautiful colonial era town. Thronged with thousands of revellers that as much a part of the show as they are the audience. This young woman was part of an afro-Brazilian Axé troupe, a music genre that originated in Salvador, Bahia.
