The public participated and interacted, showing identity with Amazonian popular culture. “I swore I was in Parintins, or Manaus. I was in Brasília, it was a very important show. Bring the presentation of Bois de Parintins, our festival, to this conference. Representing our culture is an honor, I am very proud to represent what I love most, which is our Parintins festival”, said Marciele Albuquerque, the sister-in-law of Caprichoso.

To ensure the public’s immersion in the festival, the show began with the traditional countdown, sung by Garantido presenter, Israel Paulain. “All Brazilian states were represented with their cultural delegations and they cheered, they sang our tunes as if they were inside the Bumbódromo. We deserve this recognition from Brazil and this is happening in an overwhelming way, the result of the perseverance and resistance of all of us”, Israel was moved.
