This video in two parts is a sampling of music and dance from a patron saint festival in Condado, Pernambuco, on Jan. 27-28, 1991. In part one there is ciranda, mamulengo, an MC Hammer song, a glimpse of a truck that carries a trío elétrico, and cavalo-marinho (Inácio Lucindo da Silva's group with Luiz Paixão on rabeca). In part two there is Maracatu Leão Cordoado from the town of Tupaoca (their improvised lyrics refer to being videoed for Rede Globo, but it was just me filming--or maybe there was aTV news crew there, because I rarely used artificial lighting) and more cavalo-marinho.
