Records of the São Salvador (Saint Savior) sung prayers in the Baixão do Boi community — part of the Lagoas Quilombo in São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí. The São Salvador sung prayers in Baixão do Boi is sustained by the daughters of Alzira Pereira dos Santos. Over 70 years ago, Alzira started this prayer to São Salvador every December 25th. The event takes place in a packed house, drawing people from both near and far — from many different places. These records, captured in December 2025, were made at the home of Eleticia — one of Alzira’s daughters — who, alongside her sisters Cida and Carmelita, organizes everything to ensure the prayer continues to take place.
