massaranduba summary

Massaranduba, it’s name originating from a locally abundant tree, is a poor community on the Itapagipana Peninsula in Salvador, Brazil. Massaranduba sits on layers of history; it was first a local wetland, used as a city garbage dump and the site of a hospital cemetery, and finally a layer of concrete allowed for the invasion of tens of thousands of current residents from all over Brazil. Residents have been here over half a century and love this place, and their great ongoing struggle is with the insistence of the authorities to ignore the neighborhood. The whole community has one health post, one public school, one garbage truck, hundreds of the last remaining palafita water shacks in Brazil and no police checkpoint.
But do not assume as most do that a poor neighborhood has no potential and offers no opportunities.  On the contrary, our community is overflowing with history, culture and art—it is the birthplace of Mestre Bimba, founder of Capoeira Regional, and an epicenter for percussion, Berimbao orchestras, African dance, Graffiti and Youth Theater.
Please read on to understand people and the stories of a forgotten neighborhood.
