The Afoxé Filhos de Ogum de Ronda Block paraded on the Batatinha Circuit, bringing tradition and ancestry to the avenue

The Afoxé Filhos de Ogum de Ronda Block, coordinated by Mãe Valdeci Barbosa, was present last Sunday (15) on the Batatinha Circuit, reaffirming the strength of Afro-Brazilian culture and manifestations of African origin within the carnival program. With its chants, drums and choreographies full of symbolism, the block brought the energy of Ogum to the avenue, celebrating ancestry, spirituality and cultural resistance. The procession attracted the attention of the public, who enthusiastically followed the passage of the afoxé, recognized as one of the most authentic expressions of Afro-Bahian traditions. In the image, the presence of Roquelina Magnólia and Ady Oliver stands out, alongside the religious leader, in a record that symbolizes the union between faith, art and cultural identity. More than just a parade, the group's participation represented an act of valuing African roots and the historical legacy that shapes Salvador's Carnival, transforming the festival into a space for celebrating diversity, memory, and popular culture.
