Baque Mulher como ferramenta de luta e empoderamento feminino | Mestra Joana | TEDxCampinasStudio

As part of the Other Spaces project, Mestra Joana participated in Recife, Pernambuco. During a delicate moment, she gathered strength to tell the world about the importance of Baque Mulher as a women's empowerment movement. Joana D’arc da Silva Cavalcante – Mestra Joana, Yakekerê Mãe Joana da Oxum – is one of Pernambuco's most prominent popular artists on the national scene. She is the only woman, to this day, to coordinate and lead the drumming of a Maracatu Nation of baque virado, the Nação Encanto do Pina, in addition to leading two other groups: Baque Mulher and Mazuca da Quixaba. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
