Olodum School

Olodum is a globally acclaimed Afro-Brazilian social gathering from Bahia, Brazil.

Olodum articulated gracious lo-doon was established in 1979 as a bloco afro African Bloc, a Bahian Carnival affiliation featuring African legacy and dark pride through music, move theater, and craftsmanship.

From their home city of Salvador da Bahia in Northeast Brazil frequently depicted as the most African city in the Americas, Olodum has devoted itself to social activism in the battle against racial segregation and financial inequality.

Olodum takes its name from the Yoruba god Olodumare.

They center their yearly Carnival topics around questionable issues, for example, dark power and communist developments in Africa and the African Diaspora.

In the mid 1980s, the head drummer in the gathering - Mestre Neguinho do Samba - tried different things with Afro-Caribbean rhythms and blended them with the Brazilian samba.

He separated the substantial surdo bass drums into four interlocking parts and layered the piercing repique drums in added substance rhythms to finish everything.

The outcome was another style of music named samba reggae that immediately overwhelmed Bahian Carnival. In the late 1980s Olodum expected debut position among the blocos afro in Bahia and turned out to be universally known.
