A rare opportunity to see Brazil's premiere dance and music ensemble. With Herança Sagrada (Sacred Heritage), the 32 dancers, instrumentalists, and singers of the acclaimed folkloric dance company Balé Folclórico da Bahia honor the African roots of Brazilian culture. Through elaborate choreography and costumes, the troupe explores the music and dance of the Candomblé religion, the sinuous martial art capoeira, and the ubiquitous samba.
