 A Musical Instrument
A flexible piece of wood tensioned by a highly stretched metal string. A hollow coconut cut in the bottom and scratched inside to produce the purest sound. Join a handmade rattle, a wooden stick and a coin.
Berimbau, as known for everyone, is ready: an instrument that brings strength and inspiration to body expression development of capoeira players.
But here, in Costa do Sauípe, berimbau does much more than conducting capoeira circles.

A Social Instrument
Berimbau Program is an instrument for reducing social inequality and creating better life conditions for the neighbor population.
The program was born as a consequence of Costa do Sauípe entrepreneurs` social concerns with communities of the complex surroundings. But, even though the tourist destination growth in the last years has helped the communities by generating employment opportunities and improving basic sanitation infrastructure, electricity, hydro and transportation, such as in other rural areas of the country, there are still serious social problems remaining.
Berimbau Program, created by Sauípe S.A. in partnership with community associations from the neighborhood, has been counting with important support coming from:
 Clients, guests and visitors of Costa do Sauípe;
Banco do Brasil Foundation;
PREVI;
Companies and partners operating in Costa do Sauípe;
Other several partners. |
