The Baianas are the life of our
parade!
Become
a Baiana for a day and pay tribute to the fantastic
history behind the woman with white tailored upper
garment, white flowing huge skirts with broad sashes,
abundance of necklaces and jewelry, pleasing graceful
appearance, good fortune and contentment.
She endured changes from the beginning of
the 16th century in the household with a determination to
become a leader and make fundamental changes to their
society.
Today we are proud to help her maintain her tradition and
perpetuate the legacy which still fascinates and had
gained respect from past admirers like Carmen Miranda
whose inspirational costumes and jewelry were derived from
the traditional Baiana.
In 2009 the States of Recife and Rio de
Janeiro were added to the sections of the Lavagem
parade, anyone wishing to sign up, feel free to do so.

you who are willing and committed to us. Since we are run
entirely by volunteers, we need all the help we can get.
Thank you for your willingness to join in our efforts!
We make every effort to give everyone who
volunteers as a Baiana a place in the Parade.
