Arraial Do Pavulagem

Arraial do Pavulagem is a vibrant musical group that radiates the essence and tradition of the Brazilian state of Pará, with a special focus on the cultural richness of the Amazon region. The band's name is derived from the popular festivities of the region known as "arrastão do pavulagem," which are a blend of indigenous, African, and Portuguese cultural elements. Formed in Belém in the mid-1980s, Arraial do Pavulagem has become synonymous with the annual “Festa Junina” celebrations and has played a pivotal role in popularizing the rhythms of carimbó, siria, and other local genres.

Their music is a celebration of the folklore and myths that inhabit the Amazonian imagination, and their performances are often energetic and theatrical, with costumes and choreography reflecting the colorful traditions of the area. With songs such as "Senhora da Amazônia" and "Guardião de Maiandeua," they pay homage to the natural beauty and the spiritual guardians of the Amazon. Arraial do Pavulagem has released several albums, including an engaging live recording, that capture the pulsating energy of their concerts and showcase their dedication to crafting music that resonates with the soul of the Amazon. Through their invigorating rhythms and engaging performances, Arraial do Pavulagem has not only preserved but also evolved the music of Northern Brazil, becoming cultural ambassadors of their unique musical heritage.
