MAKUMBA by DIDIO
November 21, 2009
Photographer Didio with models Bernardo Dornbusch, Roni Andrade, Jayme Siciliano [Ello] shot this exclusive editorial “Makumba” inspired for Dangerously Naive,
The word “Makumba” is frequently used in Brazil to refer to any ritual or religion of African origin (as slang), and although its use by non-practitioners remains largely pejorative in intent (referring to all sorts of religious (or otherwise) superstitions and luck-related rituals and beliefs), and is considered offensive, its use among actual practitioners is not viewed negatively. In Brazil one can find expressions such as “chuta que é macumba!” (“kick it out, it is witchcraft!”) to show disagreement with bad luck. [Wikipedia]
