Brazilian Culture and mighty Bethânia

Great Brazilian singer Maria Bethânia was honored by historic samba school Mangueira. While showing that, through many interviews (particularly with Bethania herself and, secondly, with her brother and also a giant from Brazilian music Caetano Veloso, but not only), filmmaker Marcio Debellian was able to discuss deeply important traits of Brazilian culture: syncretic religiousness (Candomblé, Catholic, Candomblé de Caboclo), religious festivities in Bahia, the relations between African-based religion and carnival and samba in Rio de Janeiro (with a past of state repression, in contrast to its celebration specifically during samba school parade nowadays). Beautiful, nice to the eyes and ears, moving. Maria Bethânia is a lovely and powerful entity of light and sound.
