Welcome to Solta, an Afro-Brazilian arts celebration!
This show was created by Professora Mandingueira (Carla Locatelli), and is performed by the incredible talent in the Arrodeia Performing group, part of the Bora Vadiar Capoeira Collective.
Solta in Portuguese means "free, loose, untied," and our show is in honor of Dia da Consciência Negra (Black Awareness Day) in Brazil, celebrated in November. It is an homage to Zumbi dos Palmares, Dandara, Besouro, Teresa de Benguela, Marielle Franco, Maria Felipa, Mestre Môa do Katendê and many others who have been fighting for freedom, equity, respect and social justice.
This show is made possible thanks to the Celebrate South Salt Lake Grant by the South Salt Lake Arts Council.

"Não sou seu negro"
by Melodia, Girassol & Letícia
|
"Não nasci pra te servir nem te ouvir
Eu sou canto de Zumbi, resisti A desumanização desde a colonização É que faz tua condição no meu chão Hoje sei do meu valor, negro amor Me levanto junto a voz dos irmãos Pra fazer reparação deve haver na nossa mão A riqueza fruto da nossa dor" |
"I wasn't born to serve you or listen to you
I am Zumbi's song, I resisted The dehumanization since colonization It's what makes your condition on my ground Today I know my worth, black love I rise with the voice of the brothers In order to make repairs, there must be in our hand The wealth, fruit of our pain" |

"Foi na roda dos Palmares"
By Letícia
|
"Êô oyá
Foi na roda dos Palmares Que Zumbi consagrou A capoeira do passado O retrato dos negros Liberdade que surgia Para um pobre sonhador Na capoeira demonstrava Sua herança e seu furor Arrancado de seus lares De um rei a escravo Ainda dizem pelas ruas Que igualdade mora ao lado Ninguém sente, ninguém sabe Meus irmãos que se foram A chegada de invasores Separou o nosso povo Mas deixaram suas marcas Nossa origem, nossa história Capoeira Mãe Oxum Afroxé, Iemanjá Trouxe o samba da Mãe África." |
"Êô oyá
It was at the roda of Palmares That Zumbi consecrated The capoeira of the past The portrait of blacks Freedom that was arising For a poor dreamer In capoeira they demonstrated Their heritage and your wrath Ripped from their homes From King to Slave It's still said in the streets That equality lives next door Nobody feels, nobody knows My brothers who have left us The arrival of invaders Separated our people But they left their marks Our origin, our history Capoeira Mãe Oxum Afroxé, Iemanjá Brought the samba from Mother Africa." |

Samba de Roda
Music by Mandingueira, Val, Léo

The Samba de Roda, which involves music, dance and poetry, is a popular festive event that developed in the State of Bahia, in the region of Recôncavo Baiano during the seventeenth century.
One of the defining characteristics of the Samba of Roda is the gathering of participants in a circle, referred to as roda. One of the most typical movements is the famous belly push, the umbigada, a testimony of Bantu influence, used by the dancer to invite her successor into the centre of the circle.
Inscribed in 2008 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
