The story of Noitada de Samba, one of the country’s most important musical and cultural movements, has been made into a movie.
The story begins with Jorge Coutinho and Leonildes Bayer and draws in composers and performers from across the country, who perform for an eclectic, explosive, festive, and politically charged audience that embodied the contradictions and social and cultural resistance of those turbulent 1970s. Before long, Noitada became a huge success.
