	Afoxé - traditional rythm of Recife, Pernambuco
		Raul Lody affirms that the melodies sung during the afoxé processions, are practically the same as the orôs, which were the ijexá religious songs, sung during the Afro-Brazilian religious ceremonies.
		This is one of the reasons that afoxé is very often referred to as 'Street Candomblé" and is used to honor one of the gods, normally the god relevant to that particular group.
		In Pernambuco, afoxé reappeared with the Negro Unification Movement at the end of the 70's, as a way of reaching the majority of the population through music, and to amplify the debate on awareness.

	Afoxés & Blocos Afros in Bahia
		Afoxé (ah-fo-SHEH) is basically candomblé with the religion taken out...the use of candomblé rhythms and "songs" in social, non-religious settings like Carnival and weekly dances.
		The principal rhythm associated with afoxé is ijexá (ee-zheh-SHAH), a more subtle and complicated version of what you might hear pounded out on the Maxwell House coffee can for a late-hours Manhattan cocktail party conga line (a simplified midi version is here as an example).
		Salvador's largest and most widely known afoxé -- Filhos de Gandhy -- was formed in 1949 by a stevedore whose inspiration was the great Indian leader and pacifist (who had been assassinated the year before).

		Afoxé (pronounced ah-fo-SHAY), much like the music Ernie Watts, Gilberto Gil and their friends have created here and in Brazil itself, is the sum of striking contradictions.
		In Bahia, the vast coastal state known as the heartland of African culture in Brazil contemporary secular version of sacred Afo-Brazilian candomblé hymns are called afoxés.
		Even a popular percussion instrument today as much at home in high school band rooms in the U.S. Midwest as it is in the winding back alleys of Salvador's historic Pelourinho neighborhood, has taken the name afoxé.

	* Irene's Country Corner * - Brasil - Carnival in Bahia
		The "afoxés" are important artistic expressions in Bahia's cultural life and they are the oldest fl organizations to perform in Bahia's Carnival, dating to the end of the nineteenth century.

		The "afoxé" Filhos de Gandhi (Gandhi's sons), supported by the Brazilian writer Jorge Amado and the composer Gilberto Gil, was founded in 1949 and is the most traditional and famous "afoxé" in Bahia.

		According to some specialists, the Afoxés directly derive from the parades of the Congo Kings, a means which allowed our fl ancestors to take part, from outside, in the Catholic Feasts in the colonial age's Brazil, since practicing African religions was firmly prohibited.
		Disengaged from catholic feasts, the Afoxés regained their African appearance, and, at the end of the XIX century, became more and more numerous and started bothering the Baian racist society.
		In the seventies, the African Afoxé ``Ilê Aiyê'' was created, as well as other groups which fight for the affirmation of a fl consciousness and express themselves by means of the beauty and the rhythm of their parades, working seriously and with determination.

		The head has plastic beads weaved or wrapped around it, usually tied with a string or cord.
