In this photographic series, the Baianas of Candomblé dance Bahia’s February 2nd with the lightness of waves and the firmness of roots that do not bend. Dressed in white, with skirts spinning like tides and necklaces bearing ancestral memories, they walk the stone streets as if each step were a prayer.
They are moving prayers, embroidered with axé, guardians of a faith that has crossed centuries. On Iemanjá’s day, they spread the blue magic of a people who dance, sing, and honor their history.
With every gesture, they remind us that Bahia cannot be explained—it must be felt. Because the Baianas are mystery, strength, and enchantment. They are the sacred that dances between two worlds.
