	Zumbi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zumbi became known for his physical prowess and cunning in battle and was a respected military strategist by the time he was in his early twenties.
		By 1678, the governor of the captaincy of Pernambuco, Pedro Almeida, weary of the longstanding conflict with Palmares, approached its leader Ganga Zumba with an olive branch.
		Vowing to continue the resistance to Portuguese oppression, Zumbi became the new leader of Palmares.

		He proved to be a leader of exceptional valor and strategic intelligence and acquired the title of "Ganga Zumbi" (not to be confused with the King, Ganga Zumba).
		Ganga Zumba proves an able leader, uniting the several communities into the Republic of Palmares, organized for common defense.
		A great debate ensues when the aging Ganga Zumba accepts the peace proposal of the Portuguese, which is emphatically opposed by Ganga Zumbi, creating a schism in the community.

	Palmar
		The first leader of Palmares was Ganga Zumba, who escaped bondage on a sugar plantation and traveled to Palmares.
		The Palmarinos, under Zumbi's leadership retaliated to the frequent invasions by engaging in reprisal raids on the Portuguese plantations and villages, freeing slaves, and thus swelling their own numbers.
		Ten years later, Zumbi, now a skilled warrior and military strategist, succeeded Ganga Zumba as leader of Palmares.

		But Ganga Zumba doesn't appear in the records until a document from the 1670's, so we can't know he was ruling in the 1640's, can we?
		Moreover, that document has Ganga Zumba living in the capital city, while the 1645 document has the un-named king living outside.
		Certainly we know the Imbangala leader lived in the capital, though, which would seem to count against the 1645 document as establishing Imbangala rule or describing the nganga a nzumbi.

		But the slaves had no intention of taking their captivity quietly: they fought their "owners" and fled to the hills, where they established quilombos or free slave states.
		It's an epic tale of an attempted utopian society, and the inability of that utopia to survive in the face of racism, colonialism, and militarism.
		Carlos Diegues' first film, "Ganga Zumba" (1964), also dealt with the same subject; this is a remake that takes into account more recent information on the quilombos -- including the important role of women, and the fact that some whites also lived in these free slave states.

		A sequel, of sorts, to Ganga Zumba, this historical saga is a stirring fusion of folklore, political impact and dynamic story-telling, realized in vibrant tropical colors and set to the pulsing beat of Gilberto Gil's musical score.
		After the slave revolt of 1641, groups of runaway fl slaves escaped to mountainous jungle strongholds where they formed self-governing communities.
		This film is the chronicle of the most famous of these "fl Eldorados" which flourished for several decades under the reign of the legendary chieftain Ganga Zumba.

	"Xica da Silva" by Randal Johnson
		It was conceived by the director as an historical farce, in which fantasy and myth are as important as historical accuracy.
		If GANGA ZUMBA was a story of the love of freedom, XICA DA SILVA, according to the director, is about the possibility of freedom through love.
		The musician's statement is thus a warning to the audience that the film should be read as a political film, even though its humor may at first glance seem to dilute the political message.

		In 17th century Brazil, a group of slaves revolts against its Portuguese masters, and then flees to Palmares, a community of escaped slaves in the rain forest.
		One of the new arrivals, Ganga Zumba (Tony Tornado), is declared king by Palmares' ancient priestess.
		The different phases of the tale -- the ascent to prominence of Ganga Zumba, the return of Zumbi, the great debate over whether to accept a peace offering from the Portuguese -- are presented through an emphatic, sometimes even abrupt editing style that raises the material to something close to epic stature.

		Instead, the story sucked me in quickly, as did the simple characters, especially Palmares' religious and political leader, Ganga Zumba (Tony Tornado, Pixote), and its military leader, Zumbi (Antonio Pompeo).
		>From the time that Ganga Zumba first organized a slave revolt, until the end of the film when the Europeans lay siege to Palmares, I was captivated.
		So much so that I was even able to ignore the Afro-Brazilian pop soundtrack, whose lyrics were based on the myths of Palmares.

	Sounds Like Planetary Jazz Part 2 / RootsWorld Recording Reviews
		Whatever one may think about the jazz-samba encounter and bossa nova's influence on global sonorities, Brazilian musicians have been sampling and crossing musical boundaries for a long while.
		Recent evidence comes from septuagenarian composer-arranger Moacir Santos, who began engraving his northeastern sensibilities on Brazilian popular music (MPB) in the 1950s, with arrangements for radio broadcast and scores for films like the Carlos Diegues classic Ganga Zumba.
		Santos moved on in 1967 to Los Angeles, remaining in the United States to record on Blue Note, lending his talents to Sérgio Mendes, while teaching and continuing to compose soundtracks.

		The film starts with the revolt of some slaves, who kill their Portuguese masters and flee to an isolated corner of the nation, which they place under their control.
		Other escaped slaves and various disenfranchised and disenchanted whites join them, and under the leadership of a charismatic leader named Ganga Zumba, they begin to create their own society.
		The Portuguese try everything they can to crush the rebel nation, but for a long time, nothing works.

		But in the wake of your ambush, there may be unrest, as rumors fly.
		Until the colonial government can display the head of "Ganga Zumbi" in Recife, they will be fearful of more outbreaks by rebellious slaves, or vengeful raids from outlaw bands in the Serra da Barriga, or further south in Bahia.
		So you see more soldiers than usual riding or marching along the coastal roads that were cleared by slaves, and at every village they are either making a presence, or have been by recently.
