The Canta Luiz project brings Northeastern Brazilian culture to 21 municipalities in Bahia.

With the goal of spreading the traditions of the June festivities and honoring the King of Baião, who sang about the hardships and beauties of the Sertão region, the Canta Luiz project begins its 2023 performance schedule in Tucano/BA, next Friday the 9th.

The initiative of the Association of Performers of Northeastern Folklore

The initiative, carried out by the Associação Brincantes do Folclore Nordestino with sponsorship from Ferbasa, will bring the joy of Northeastern culture to 21 municipalities in the interior of Bahia. Composed of seven musicians (5 on accordions, 1 on triangle and 1 on zabumba), the Orquestra Sanfônica will play the classics that immortalized Gonzagão.

Performances in various cities

Canta Luiz will also perform in cities such as Pojuca, Andorinha, Catu, Maracás, Planaltino, Entre Rios, Senhor do Bonfim, Campo Formoso, Conde, Itanagra, Caetité and Pindaí.

Ferbasa's support

“Through its social responsibility program, Ferbasa supports projects that value and preserve the art and culture of our people, especially conserving the intangible heritage of our state. Thus, Canta Luiz is an action celebrating the music and identity of the Northeast,” says Ana Lúcia Freitas, social responsibility analyst at Ferbasa.

Project impact

Since 2018, more than 70 performances have been held in Bahia, reaching approximately 100,000 people annually.
