The research conducted in Bahia in the early 1940s by the African-American linguist Lorenzo Turner, in Candomblé terreiros in Salvador and Recôncavo Baiano, left as a legacy precious audio records of religious personalities such as Mãe Menininha do Gantois, Joãozinho da Goméia and Manoel Falefá. The documentary addresses the importance of making music in these communities, providing an overview of the material recorded in Bahia by Turner and the oral tradition still sung and played both in the terreiros and in the popular music of Bahia.
