BAHIA, THE AFRICAN HERITAGE

The story of the "Bay of All Saints"

Synopsis

In 1500, in the region of Salvador, Brazil, the first Portuguese settlers landed and built their first colonial city: Salvador de Bahia, known as "the Bay of All Saints".

The indigenous tribes were decimated and replaced by enslaved Africans working mainly in mills.

Today, Salvador's African heritage remains alive in its culture, music, and arts as its inhabitants strive to preserve the memory of their ancestors.
