History of Quilombos

Before the the abolition of slavery until the present day, the region of Imbé, located in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes, has been the scene of various social actors:

Mrs Terezinha and Mr Benedito are sought-after within Quilombo Alto da Serra do Mar. The couple and 220 residents currently living in the Quilombo, located in the District of Lidice in Rio Claro.

Lovely: quality that is harmonious. Cultural practices by people who know themselves as belonging to the Quilombo of Baia Formosa are entitled to the name.

The aroma that exuded from medicinal herbs and spices that were used to season the fish mingled to the sounds of stories and verses of jongos.

In the kitchen from the Zumbi of Palmares Municipal Foundation, earmarked for the communities from Imbé, Mrs Berenice, 54, known as Bidi, prepared the stew pork recipe with yam and spoke about her experiences.
