Olodum
Olodum is a bloco-afro from Salvador’s carnival, in Bahia. It was founded on April 25, 1979 during the carnival season as a leisure option for residents of Maciel-Pelourinho, guaranteeing them the right to play at the carnival in one block and in an organized manner. It is a non-governmental organization of the Brazilian black movement. Its headquarters are located in the historic center of Salvador, Pelourinho, which hosts most of its presentations. Its CEO is João Jorge Rodrigues.
Olodum develops activism to combat social discrimination, boost the self-esteem and pride of African-Brazilians, and defend and fight to secure civil and human rights for marginalized people in Bahia and Brazil. Currently, it has a social project called Escola Olodum (Olodum School).
Banda Olodum (Olodum's Band)
Founded as an African block of the carnival in Salvador in 1979, Olodum is currently a cultural group considered a non-governmental organization. After their first run in 1980’s carnival, the band acquired almost two thousand associates and began to talk about historic themes about African and Brazilian culture. The band’s first LP was called “Egito, Madagascar” and was recorded in 1987, and became famous with the song “Faraó, Divindade do Egito”. The idea of this LP was to honor the roots of the group and show to the country "Mamma Africa," and to show, too, how the group was born (from the drums to the influences of African Gods).

Olodum Maré
by: OlodumFaz tempo que voce
Nao canta um reggae pra mim
Canta pra mim, bem
Canta pra mim
Tudo, tudo fica blue
Quando estou com você
No swing do Olodum
Dum dum dum dum
Abre alas, acorda minha cor
Abre alas, vem pra janela
Abre alas, o Olodum chegou
Abre alas, que coisa bela
