  • A Bará Indigenous man living at São Gabriel da Cachoeira, uses the Baniwa Maloca (House of Knowledge) to express his own traditions and share with the community. With a peculiar humor, he was listed as 'dangerous indigenous man' by the Baniwa's leader because he exhibits a mustache (not usual for the indigenous in the area).<br />
Bará People are very rare, an estimative about their group in Brazil tells about only 39 people (by 2009). His original tribe is near the frontier with Colômbia, around Papuri river.

  • There are 22 familes living at Itacoatiara Mirim, a Baniwa Community around São Gabriel da Cachoeira town. To recover their traditions after leaving the original tribe, they built this "Maloca", also known as House of Knowledge. <br />
<br />
"House of Knowledge is an area of transmission and learning of the traditional culture for those who do not know or forgot. It's to talk, tell stories of past, reliving the custom to eat together. A place to dance, make instruments, showing the young our culture"; explained Mestre Luiz Laureano, community leader. "The House of Knowledge is also to receive relatives who come from the original tribe to share with us the stories of our family who were there. Is a school that will pass knowledge."<br />

  • Embraced by his friend playing the flute, they dance together.<br />
It was the first time I've seen someone playing a Jabuti's (turtle) hull. <br />
The sound was a vibration produced by the friction of his warm hand, in a constant rhythm, giving me a sense of transe.<br />
Hypnotic and beautiful.<br />
<br />
The Indigenous Bará was playing the flute, and the Jabuti's musician is a Baniwa man.
