Today, for Black History Month, we remember events of February 6, 1694: When the Brazilian authorities captured Dandara, warrior queen of the runaway slaves in Quilombo dos Palmares. She committed suicide to avoid being forced back into slavery. Quilombo dos Palmares was a community of Afro-Brazilian people who freed themselves from enslavement. The community survived for nearly 90 years, with up to 30,000 residents, before the government finally suppressed it in 1694. Members of the community would raid plantations, slaughter the owners and free the enslaved people to come join them in Palmares. They used guerilla warfare, using weapons obtained from Portuguese traders and, possibly, capoeira.

As a young girl, Dandara joined a group of Afro-Brazilians to fight against slavery in Brazil. As an adult, she helped create military strategies to protect Palmares. She played an important role in making her husband, Zumbi dos Palmares, cut ties with his uncle Ganga-Zumba, who was the first big chief of Quilombo dos Palmares. In 1678, Ganga-Zumba signed a peace treaty with the government. All those born in Palmares were to be free and given permission to engage in commerce. However, in exchange, they had to stop giving refuge to runaway slaves and collaborate with the Portuguese authorities in arresting runaways. Dandara and Zumbi opposed the deal because it did not end slavery and made Palmares complicit in its perpetuation.

The story of Zumbi, Dandara and the Quilombo do Palmares is depicted in the truly superb 1984 film “Quilombo,” directed by Carlos Diegues, with music by Gilberto Gil.

This experimental track on the bobre / berimbau has caught my ear.

I know I'm not alone jumping here during the #twittermigration , and I'm hoping to get to know others in the #gamedev and #digitalart spheres as I build my portfolio and continue to learn as much as I can.

Currently I'm crazy about #linux , #gaming, #blender, and #godotengine!

El próximo sábado 3 de Junio, los peques, jóvenes y mayores de Vallecas tomarán la calle Payaso Fofó para jugar y divertirse en la trigésima cuarta edición del Día Infantil y Juvenil de Vallecas.

Una jornada festiva organizada por la Coordinadora Infantil y Juvenil de Tiempo Libre de Vallecas y en la que todo el mundo está invitado a participar, jugar, bailar, aprender, convivir y disfrutar, haciendo que la calle se convierta en un espacio lúdico.

Además, en esta edición, se conmemora el centenario del nacimiento del vallecano Don Alfonso Aragón Bermúdez, más conocido por su nombre artístico el ‘Payaso Fofó‘, miembro de los célebres Los payasos de la tele y cuyo apodo da nombre a una de las calles más célebres de Vallecas. Por dicho motivo, el lema de esta edición hace un guiño a este artista con la frase «¡A tapar la calle! Había una vez, un circo…».
