Description
A whole night to photograph a rite of Candomblé in a -terreiro- of Salvador de Bahia is a very intense experience. The assignment of the men is to tune up complexes and repetitive African rhythms with strong and evocative power. The women dress embroider wheel skirts, they dance, they stir the bodies, they scrutinize the presents and they follow the initiates completing slow movements and singing in yoruba language.They dominates the house. They dance and they go in trance, the principal purpose of the ceremony. The dance, deeply African, is performed with great transport, with elegant movements of the hands, swinging the haunchs and completing light footsteps. When a dancer enters in trance, she trembles and twists while the assistants embrace and sustain her.
The rite that I have photographed was in honor of Omolù, the feared one and respected Orixà of the illnesses and torments; his syncretic and christian counterpart is S. Rocco. The followers of the Candomblé, named -candomblisti-, are Catholic believers. The Brazilian Church cohabits and accepts the existing syncretism between the rites of African origin and the most known Catholic practices.
