Folias de Reis Meeting
Performed without interruption for ten years by Violeiro Caipira Club of Brasilia, the Twelfth Meeting of Folias de Reis far exceeded the boundaries of the Federal District, bringing together groups of Goias, Minas Gerais and Tocantins. Sao Paulo and Santa Catarina are already well represented and even a group of Morro da Mangueira, Rio de Janeiro, has attended the event. Always striving to be based at the Granja do Torto, this time the meeting took place in City Park. The importance of Folias de Reis for the culture of the Federal District and the format of the meeting, which respects the traditional dynamics of the group, ensuring their inclusion in the official calendar of events with the approval of Law No. 3252 of December 19, 2003. The activities showed the diversity of artistic expressions associated with the celebration, as Catira, the Curraleiros Lundu and, through presentations, workshops, exhibitions and wheels prose. Spontaneous demonstrations of guitar players and other musicians gave special color to the festival that also facilitated the discussion of issues common to the groups and the search for collective solutions, such as the registration of the proposition Folias as intangible heritage, and the transformation of schools into groups of revelry. The Folias de Reis occur throughout central and south of the country and are guardians of ancient knowledge passed down from generation to generation by the guides and ambassadors to younger revelers. Every year during the holidays, the Folias roam the residents' houses. In return, those who receive the visit of Folias food supplies and other goods that are used for holding the festival of Kings, preferably on Jan. 6. Because of this tradition the meeting promotes the collection of foods that are served to the revelers and the surplus donated to charities and other groups. e-mail: contato@encontrodefoliadereis.com.br Phone: +55 61 3301 1267 / +55 61 3301 5888
