Who we are
Associação Cultural Cachuera! carries out traditional popular culture research, register, reflection and spreads with emphasis on afro origin communities demonstrations from the Southeast region in Brazil, aiming at motivating its appreciation throughout all sectors within our society.
The job accomplished so far has resulted in a reference collection of two thousand audio and one thousand video registers, from over 140 places visited. Acervo Cachuera! is storaged in technical reserve, located in the Associação headquarters, in São Paulo city.
The collection provides a range of different actions such as free access at the headquarters, access to internet data basis, partnership in projects with several communities, documentary video production, CDs, books and other publications addressing part of the turnover to participating communities as well as to Grupo Cachuera!, which spreads afro origin popular culture tradition through presentations and performance.
Cachuera! auditorium regularly welcomes traditional popular culture, urban and erudite presentations of artists who are aside the cultural market, as well as free or popular price courses, workshops and debates. The association also runs events in theatres, libraries and other public spaces, rather than in its headquarters.
Its activities are supported by donations, projects put out to tender, its products trading and rendering audio recording services to Estúdio Salaviva, Cachuera!´s project partner, located at Cachuera!´s headquarters.
In 2007, as a result of its activities, the Association was rewarded the Ordem do Mérito Cultural and won Prêmio Culturas Populares, both granted by the Federal Government / Culture Ministry.
