Boi-Bumbá Caprichoso announces 2027 festival theme

Boi-Bumbá Caprichoso has officially announced its theme for the 2027 Parintins Festival: “Caprichoso: Criação Que Vem da Alma” (Creation That Comes from the Soul). The announcement took place during celebrations for the organization's 113th anniversary at Curral Zeca Xibelão.

Developed by the group's Art Council, the theme focuses on the cultural identity and ancestral roots of the people of Parintins. The artistic narrative aims to explore the indigenous, African, and quilombola influences that shape the island's history, incorporating elements such as traditional knowledge, local folklore, and the daily experiences of the community into music, dance, and visual arts.

Ericky Nakanome, president of the Art Council, stated that the theme recognizes the local population as the source of the group's artistic genius. The announcement also introduced the leadership team tasked with preparing the spectacle for the 2027-2029 triennium, as the organization seeks a back-to-back championship victory.
