Por que somente 2 pessoas vivem nessas 200 casas?

In Serra do Carola, a nearly empty village bursts into life during the July Jubilee. 🍀 Episode Summary: In this episode, Matheus Boa Sorte visits Serra do Carola, in Minas Gerais, where a village of about 200 houses is home to only two residents year-round. The village, known as Vila da Capelinha, comes alive between the second and third Sundays of July, during the Jubilee of Our Lady of Sorrows, when approximately 8,000 people pass through on pilgrimage. The origins of the devotion date back to the early 20th century, when the faithful sought healing and promises at a simple cross, which later became the chapel inaugurated in 1945. Families built simple huts for lodging during the festival, passed down from generation to generation. The episode highlights figures like Nanza, a devotee since childhood, and Seu Damião, one of the two permanent residents. We also meet José Nicodemos, who has participated in the Jubilee for over 70 years. Between masses, forró, and traditions, the village reveals a strong cultural identity marked by faith, isolation, and collective memory. 🍀 Highlights: Serra do Carola: a village with 200 houses and only two permanent residents.

I'm passionate about the cultural traditions of the Brazilian Northeast. To be more specific, the sertão, which I argue is much more than a corner of Brazil with little rainfall. For me, the backlands are feelings, states of mind, of those who carry within themselves a smile, faith, persistence, courage, and a little bit of mischief. I'm an advertising professional by training, and I pay my bills through art. I'm a singer, composer, writer, speaker, educator, actor, TV host, radio host... So many things, right? But I can sum it all up in one profession: I'M A STORYTELLER.
