Summary: The state of Espírito Santo has diversity of popular demonstrations which are divided into groups, knowledge and celebrations. One of the most obvious practical are the bands of Congo, that cover much of the State and are increasingly notoriety. The Barra do Jucu is one of the oldest communities of the Espírito Santo, a fishing village that centuries ago consisted of the large farm Araçatiba founded by the Jesuits and administered in the nineteenth century by Colonel Sebastião Vieira Machado. The cultural diversity of this region inhabited by Africans, Indians and Europeans, has given rise to popular practices such as Marujada, Folia de Reis and Congo bands, which persist to this day in the municipalities of Cariacica, Vila Velha, Guarapari and Viana, in past, belonging to large farm Araçatiba. The formation of the Congo in Barra do Jucu is the result of informal wheels made by conguistas neighboring riverine communities, promoted mainly by Mr. Ignacio Vieira Machado, a descendant of Colonel Sebastian and led by Alcides Gomes da Silva, descended from black Africans and Azoreans, inhabitants of Araçatiba farm. For a long time this practice has been marginalized, but currently the Congo is considered an icon of capixaba culture. This resignification is linked to a process of recovery and media projection that began in the 1980s and intensified in the following decades. Much of movements and events that stimulated this process occurred in Barra do Jucu community. On the other hand, politicians, businessmen, the entertainment industry and other sectors of society, enjoy more and more of this ascension of Congo using traditional groups to profit and promotional purposes. Marginal practice until it becomes cultural icon, the Congo's Barra do Jucu passed farms, rivers, beaches and planets. And on these crossings not only geographical but social, cultural and political is that this work is intended to think, beyond the traditional practices of groups and their use, seeking to emphasize the relationship between conguistas, public and private institutions, media and public.Congo Bands of Barra do Jucu;Identity;Spectacle;Trading;Immaterial Patrimony
