    Your guides on this virtual adventure and Bira and Jen, and we can't wait to meet you. (Virtually, of course!)

    Bira is an internationally-recognized music professor, specializing in the rhythms of Candomblé. He is also the son of a mãe-de-santo (head priestess), has been a part of Candomblé for more than 20 years, and is the alabé (head musician) of the terreiro Ilê Axé Omim J’Oba. Bira is the musical director at the Diaspora Cultural Center in Salvador’s historic center and leads its carnival group, Afoxé Aryalogum.

    I (Jen) moved to Salvador in 2015 and have been regularly attend Candomblé ceremonies with Bira ever since. I share Bira’s passion for Salvador and unlocking the mysteries of this amazing city and culture.
