Inaê by Mestre Boa Voz 🎶
Negro velho mandingueiro,
sentado ao velho portão
Pedia pra Inaê, consolar seu coração
Existiu velha demanda entre Bantus e Nagôs
Disputando Inaê como seu dono e senhor
Ela lhe disse menino, não faz muito tempo não
Essa briga era dos Deuses, não era do homem não
Tocando seu berimbau e sem muito entender
Ele pôs-se a cantar o que ela mandou dizer
Inaê, Inaê, Inaê
ainda é Nagô
Inaê, InaêInaê ainda é Bantu
Inaê, Inaê
Ela não tem dono não
Inaê, Inaê
Ela é de preto e branco
Inaê, Inaê
This week, we honor the legacy of Zumbi dos Palmares at Zumbimba. Known as a powerful symbol of freedom, Zumbi was born in 1655 in Serra da Barriga, a region now part of União dos Palmares in Alagoas, Brazil.
A legendary leader of the Quilombo dos Palmares, Zumbi resisted colonial oppression and fought tirelessly for the liberation of enslaved Afro-Brazilians. Married to Dandara dos Palmares and father to several children, Zumbi’s courageous spirit lives on in Capoeira and our shared history.
His death on November 20, 1695, symbolizes resilience and resistance in Afro-Brazilian culture—a legacy we proudly honor every November.
