Musicians Carla Sosa and Ivon Jesus from Banda Tida are both based in the UK, but more precisely in Scotland. They represented Brazil at the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival. It is attended by youth from 10 countries. Banda Tita was founded 28 years ago by Master Neguinho do Samba, the creator of the samba reggae. Excited, Carla Sosa, granddaughter of Neguinho do Samba, talks about the opportunity to live in this moment: “Being a part of this festival is a dream I never imagined, but I had the privilege of making it come true. Bringing samba reggae and afro dance to another country is a huge responsibility. It talks about descent, the sense of recognition. It is very gratifying to be able to bring that tradition to the world. Today I not only represent Carla Sosa, but also Banda Tida, my grandfather and all the women who are part of this history.
To Ida de Jesus, Tita’s facilitator, “Being a part of the project is a huge responsibility; Take the tradition of samba reggae and neguinho do samba to the world. The host also says that the event is very interesting: the exchange of experiences and knowledge of other cultures. Deborah Sousa, the daughter of Nguyenho, the leader of Tida, insists that this band was the first female rhythm band in Bahia.
“It simply came to our notice then. We’ve watered down, saved what Neguinho left behind, changed lives, provided courses, worked on the self – esteem of many of them, and provided a career, ”he explains.
In epidemics, the women in the group have had difficult times, but gradually they are recovering with courage and confidence. Tida is the power of creation, of change.
