Brasarte brings to the Bay Area the 15th annual Yemanja Arts Festival. Yemanja is mother of salt waters, goddess of the sea, giver of life, and patron of fishermen. This celebration originates from Yoruban traditions carried from West Africa to the Americas, but it is now embraced by migrants and travelers throughout the world who, having crossed the oceans in search for a better life, regard Yemanja as their protector. With this festival BrasArte also honors Black History Month as it is believed that Yemanja watched over the Africans during the midde passage.
This celebration offers a unique opportunity for healing across cultures and races, a chance to reach out, share and celebrate with each other.
Festival Artists: Special Guest Margareth Menezes, Arenas Dance Company, Elisio Pitta, Sambada, Nicinha & Raizes de Santo Amaro, Nildinha Fonseca Dance Company
Drummers, musicians, dancers and singers from Brazil and other parts of the African Diaspora will invoke the goddess mother, her healing beauty, and her generous and protective spirit.
Free on Facebook Live @BrasArte. VIP Zoom tickets $15 https://www.BrasArte.com
Made possible with support by Berkeley Civic Arts, Alameda Arts Commission, the Alliance for California Traditional Arts and friends of BrasArte
