In Bahia, the conditions in which the lower classes live are so terrible93 … that merely staying alive in such conditions constitutes extraordinary proof of strength and vitality. For this reason, the preservation of custom and tradition, the organising of societies, samba schools, parades, bands and afoxés, and the creation of new dance rhythms and songs … takes on the character of a veritable miracle.

– Pedro Archanjo in Jorge Amado’s Tent of Miracles

[A Filhos de Gandhy procession] makes you feel like crying. You feel all that tranquillity, that shiver running through your body, taking hold of you. This is the spiritual side of Carnaval, its balance.94

– Gilberto Gil
