Venâncio beats Santinha. Watch the scene from the original version of the soap opera
Bumba meu boi is folk art, a reliquary of stories and rhythms, guarded by UNESCO and IPHAN as treasures of humanity and Brazil. A survivor of persecution, it emerges as a cry for liberation from black heritage, a song that defied the shadows from 1861 to 1868.
Between legends and realities, this dance dates back to the 18th century in the Northeast, where the ox was a symbol of strength and wealth. At this stage of life, father Francisco and mother Catirina play the main roles in the legend. She was pregnant and longed for the taste of the ox's tongue. He, an immeasurable love, sacrificed the noblest ox to satisfy his desire. But from death comes life, the ox is reborn, and with him joy breaks out in jubilation and forgives the couple in love.
