Photographer’s Note

The square of the Saint Benedict church in Itaunas, a district of Conceição da Barra, an interesting place, full of beautiful beaches in the top border of Espirito Santo State.

Itaunas is the "Forró" capital of Espirito Santo State. "Forró" is a Northeastern Brazilian kind of music/dance.

A theory of the origin of the term "Forró" is that is a derivative of the English expression "for all". English engineers on the Great Western Railroad would throw balls on weekends and classify them as either only for railroad personnel or for the general populace ("for all").
