On April 10, Baiao Chemical (603360. SH) issued a number of announcements on its own semiconductor layout. According to the announcement, the board of directors of Baiao Chemical appointed Liu Hongjun as the company's co-general manager and nominated non-independent directors to be responsible for managing the company's semiconductor business segment. In addition, Baiao Chemical also disclosed the construction of a semiconductor equipment production base in Wuxi Xidong New Town Business District, the capital increase of its holding company and the layout of the Pearl River Delta. In 2024, Baiao Chemical entered the semiconductor equipment industry through the acquisition of Xinhuilian. At present, Baiao Chemical is accelerating the layout of this new business area. "Veteran" Liu Hongjun is proposed to be the co-general manager It is worth noting that Baiao Chemical simultaneously issued an announcement on the revision of the Articles of Association and its annexes, clarifying that the joint general manager and the general manager have the same rights and obligations. Judging from Liu Hongjun's resume, he is a veteran in the semiconductor equipment industry, successively serving as the director of Dongdian Optoelectronics Semiconductor Equipment (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., the general manager of Beijing Yisheng Precision Semiconductor Co., Ltd., and the current chairman of Xinhuilianxin (Suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xinhuilianxin"). It is understood that Liu Hongjun's Xinhuilian Xin mainly focuses on the field of wafer bonding equipment. Baiao Chemical told the Economic Observer that bonding equipment is the core link of chip manufacturing, and this market was previously monopolized by international giants. In November 2024, Xinwitlink shipped 2 new hybrid bonding equipment, which refreshed the accuracy level of this series of equipment in China. According to public information, Baiao Chemical has a stake in Xinhuilianxin. Started the construction of semiconductor equipment base In addition to announcing the above-mentioned important personnel arrangements, Baiao Chemical also disclosed the construction of the semiconductor equipment base. According to the announcement, Xinhuilian intends to agree that the Wuxi Xidong New Town Business District Management Committee will provide about 100,000 square meters of industrial carriers for Xinhuilian to use first, and Xinhuilian will invest in the construction of R&D and production bases in the carrier and build a FAB test line for semiconductor production line equipment verification and process research and development. It is understood that the production base project invested and built by Baiao Chemical in Wuxi will include the new semiconductor equipment production line of Xinhuilian and Xinhuilian, with a designed annual shipping capacity of about 150 units each, with a total annual output value of more than 10 billion yuan. This project will enable Xinhuilian and Xinhuilian to have large-scale production capacity of advanced semiconductor equipment. As of the first half of 2024, the lithography machine business revenue of Xinhuilian has reached 176 million yuan, with a gross profit margin of 89.01%, and the research and development of the company's gluing and developing equipment has entered the prototype trial production and verification stage, but the business has not generated revenue due to the lack of relevant production capacity. The construction of this production base may solve the dilemma of limited production capacity.

April 25 and offers views of the landscape to the north. There, was a small building, stripped of its original function, which had two floors: one facing the avenue and the other about 2.50m below it. © Alexander BogorodskiyThe pre-existing building was a primary school of utter importance for the city. Having been built around 1940 during the Estado Novo period, it was the intention of the municipality to preserve the memory of this small piece of equipment where so many generations have studied. © Alexander BogorodskiyThe intervention proposal went through with the premise of rehabilitating and integrating the existing building and adding to it a new volume with three floors. Plan - Ground floorThis solution allowed having wide glass windows facing North, taking advantage of the natural light that would this way enter generously, allowing ideal reading conditions. It seemed to make sense that the main entrance of the library should be made through the old entrance of the primary school, almost as a way of honoring the past generations, in some way bringing the past to the present and projecting it into the future. The new generations would follow the previous generations and would also come here to acquire knowledge. © Alexander BogorodskiyThe main entrance gives access to the lobby of the Library. where visitors and users can watch the horizon and the silhouette of the mountains leading us on a journey into the imagination of the book "The City and the Mountains" of Eça de Queiroz written precisely

prior consultation ignored Aura Minerals’s value increased by almost 700% between 2019 and 2022 on the Toronto Stock Exchange — the best performance among 3,500 companies The reason for such extraordinary performance is simple: The company pays investors extremely well Residents of Baião — located a little more than 3 miles away from the mining site — in turn were not heard in the decision to resume the project that used to belong to mining company Vale The open-pit mine is located near the community and will affect them directly the only river to cross the Quilombola territory in the event of an accident with the dam used by the company the Baião community would be instantly engulfed and would disappear completely “The company claims that they are not in our territory but do they have an escape route to save the territory if the dam collapses The other communities will be affected in terms of water but Baião risks disappearing,” Maryellen Crisóstomo said to the Mining Observatory Crisóstomo is one of the leaders of quilombo Baião and serves as head of communication for the National Coordination of Rural Black Quilombola Communities (CONAQ) The Tocantins State Public Defender’s Office (DPE/TO) paid a technical visit to Baião in December 2022 to confirm the mining company’s lack of dialogue with locals Despite being so close to the site, the Quilombola were not consulted about the impacts of mining in the region Indigenous and traditional peoples’ right to free prior and informed consultation is provided for by Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization that right has been guaranteed by law since 2004 That means that the Brazilian state must consult Native and traditional peoples about enterprises and infrastructure works with potential to cause impacts on territories cultural practices and social dynamics of the communities affected by the activities The consultation must be transparent so communities understand the potential impacts on their lives doubts and decisions of communities consulted the Quilombola from Baião finished a protocol in which they detailed how the consultation should be conducted To avoid having their doubts and concerns ignored residents of Baião appealed to the Federal Prosecution Service in Tocantins (MPF/TO) in September 2021 the Quilombola reported the arbitrary way in which Aura Minerals approached the community in July of that year coercing them to answer questionnaires with personal information claiming that the questionnaire was “just like IBGE’s” [The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics The community refused to fill out any forms and turned to the Prosecution Service which questioned Brazil’s National Mining Agency the Palmares Cultural Foundation and the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA) A 10-day deadline for feedback was set in August 2022 but the agencies had not responded by February 2023 the Prosecution Service claimed that it was looking into the facts and it needed concrete data in order to make any decision “If the impact on the Quilombola community is proved appropriate lawsuits will be filed,” says a representative In search of alternatives, the community resorted to the DPE/TO, which mediated a meeting on Jan 11 with representatives of the Quilombola communities of Baião and Poço Dantas Dianópolis and São Joaquim from Porto Alegre the meeting included the State Coordination of Quilombola Communities of Tocantins the Department of Environment and Tourism of Almas the Rural Development Institute of Tocantins and Aura Almas Mineração the Brazilian subsidiary of the Canadian mining company the meeting was not attended by technical staff from the mining company who could start a dialogue and speak honestly about the potential impacts on communities and the risks posed by the dams The company’s representatives only advertised the project’s alleged economic benefits “I’m particularly scared by their failure to mention the critical part The residents were presented with a slide show on the advantages of mining in the region — contrary to what they had expected which was the beginning of a transparent dialogue about the potential impacts on their communities “The big question is: What is the real threat to our territory?” Crisóstomo said The cornerstone of the venture was laid in December 2021 The Tocantins Court of Justice suspended the injunction granted in May 2021, which allowed the operation of the mining company after the Tocantins state government claimed, through the state attorney’s office, that it posed environmental risks to the region then acting Governor Wanderlei Barbosa granted Aura an environmental license to operate When asked by the Mining Observatory to comment on the exact content of the “agreement,” the government of Tocantins did not respond the State Court of Justice declared that 21 articles of the law on environmental licensing sanctioned in July 2021 during former Governor Mauro Carlesse’s administration which does not respond to the specific questions about the case Regarding their lack of consultation with the Quilombola and the fact that they ignored the presence of nearby communities in addition to safety and emergency protocols and the risks posed by the tailings dam the company said it “promotes responsible and sustainable growth in its businesses and adopts the best safety and ESG practices” and that “it respects the culture and well-being of the communities where it operates integrating best practices and environmental projects into its businesses and activities.” but the company chose to maintain its position The mining company’s lobby is strong in the municipality It promises a long-term enterprise with creation of jobs and an initial investment of 375 million reais ($71 million) “The proposals fascinate the local population,” said Crisóstomo The open-pit gold mine has an estimated useful life of 17 years and average production of 50,000 ounces a year  each ounce being equivalent to just over 28 grams the construction work will create 400 direct jobs and around 1,200 indirect ones Tax revenues for the municipality of Almas are estimated at 80.3 million reais ($15 million) under the systems known as Financial Compensation for the Exploitation of Mineral Resources (CFEM) and Service Tax (ISS) The state treasury should receive 30.3 million reais ($5.7 million) from CFEM and royalties In Brazil, in addition to Almas, Aura Minerals has copper and gold mining projects in the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Mato Grosso, and it also operates in Colombia, Mexico and Honduras. In an interview with newspaper O Estado de S.Paulo in September 2021 despite the political turmoil and threats to democracy already underway at the time and which have worsened since then as a result of the Jan “gold is immune to any crisis in Brazil” and Aura would be an “option” for investors when “everything goes wrong” because its operations are based on the U.S dollar and 80% of its revenues are in gold The Baião quilombo is certified by the Palmares Foundation and has been waiting since 2010 to be recognized as Quilombola territory by INCRA the “slow implementation of that policy gives rise to this type of violence and conflict in the territory It’s not just about mining; it’s also about deforestation and silted rivers,” she argued The Quilombola from Baião have documents proving their presence in the area since 1919 Contacted by the Mining Observatory to comment on the delay in the process and no deadline can be established for the procedures.” the duration of each process depends on the level of complexity and includes factors such as the degree of difficulty in accessing cartographic historical and anthropological information necessary to prepare the Technical Identification and Delimitation Report (RTID) The factors listed by INCRA to explain why it takes so long to provide a quilombo with a land title include the number of properties in the territory problems notifying all holders of real estate in the territories during the stages when the RTID can be challenged and notifications will be issued for inspection and evaluation of their properties total number of challenges as well as administrative and court appeals filed during the course of each process time for legal proceedings to expropriate rural properties and other variables aspiring presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro declared that he would not allow demarcation of any Indigenous or Quilombola territory during his term in office The promise was fulfilled with several budget cuts and the dismantling of agencies in charge of policies for Native and traditional communities In April 2022, INCRA had more than 1,800 open processes to regularize Quilombola territories the agency approved a rule that made it even more difficult to recognize Quilombola communities and The rule established that only communities with RTID would enjoy their territorial rights Under that rule, the research and studies necessary for a Quilombola territory to be recognized will only be carried out if funds are available. It also disregards the Quilombola’s right to consultation Living in the middle of the Agricultural Development Plan of Matopiba (an area comprising the Cerrado border of the states of Maranhão the Quilombola from Baião are directly impacted by the advance of agribusiness and suffer from land-grabbing families that could not afford digging artesian wells depend exclusively on the municipality’s water trucks the Quilombola say they fear they will have to leave the territory they have occupied for more than 90 years with so many environmental destruction fronts around them It is by remaining in the territory that they guarantee that traditional farming practices religion and ways of life keep persisting to this day which is located in southeastern Tocantins — a region affected by water shortages — has been historically marked by slavery and the gold rush technical director of civil society organization Alternatives for Small-Scale Agriculture in Tocantins pointed out several factors making water scarce in the region “There is the impact of agribusiness in the Matopiba region causing lack of water and the depletion of the Urucuia aquifer which is lowering the water discharge that supplies the entire southeastern region of Tocantins,” he said Scientists confirm the views expressed by Gonçalves, aka Paulão. The advance of agribusiness based on large-scale irrigation may be one of the main drivers of the depletion of the Urucuia aquifer, an immense reservoir that lies below the plateaus and rivers impacted by large farms The Quilombola issue is also historical in the region and is directly connected to mining The African diasporic population was trafficked to southeastern Tocantins to be exploited in the gold cycle of the 1700s “Southeastern Tocantins is a large Quilombola territory of Black populations that don’t have any land title,” Gonçalves explained “There is no conclusive action by INCRA to regularize the areas and the state government refuses to regulate the Quilombola territories,” he said “It is a large Black population — almost an Africa in Tocantins — and none of these communities can enjoy their territorial rights,” Gonçalves concluded Banner image: Aura Minerals’s mine in Almas Article originally published in Portuguese on Observatório da Mineração/The Mining Observatory The “fortress conservation” model is under pressure in East Africa as protected areas become battlegrounds over history and global efforts to halt biodiversity loss Mongabay’s Special Issue goes beyond the region’s world-renowned safaris to examine how rural communities and governments are reckoning with conservation’s colonial origins and trying to forge a path forward […] and the off-beat pounding of the zabumba drum make forro a favorite for all Brazilians The infectious tunes and syncopated beats have been described as "a mixture of ska with polka in overdrive."

at New York’s Lincoln Center during a 1999 tribute to his uncle was the first figure to popularize the Northeastern Brazilian folk music called forro a fast and lively music driven by accordion This genre of Brazilian country dance music has not only influenced samba and bossa but has swept Brazil and New York City in the past few years I bet most of you picked bossa nova and samba They are after all the most known genres to come out of Brazil in the last 50-plus years What about forro? This genre of Brazilian music has not only influenced samba and bossa, but has swept Brazil and New York City in the past few years. Sadly there isn’t much of a presence here in Chicago, although the band Swing Brasileiro is a good example. They played a set for us on Eight Forty-Eight in June the letter "R" sounds more like an "H." Hence forro's pronunciation: FOH-hoe One theory behind the origins of the word forro is that it’s a mispronunciation of the phrase "for all." According to lore British landowners would throw dance parties "for all" who could come The music’s origins have more to do with cowboys and farmers than bastardized English Forro is the sound of the fertile farmland and desert of the northeast of Brazil known as sertao Forro’s syncopated rhythm is called the baiao and it has roots in African circle dances; it also incorporates polka and schottisches The main instrument is a drum called the zabumba — a bass drum that’s played with a mallet on one hand and a stick in the other The godfather of modern forro is Luiz Gonzaga (1912-1978) He’s credited with mixing the rural sound with a more urban feel and bringing instruments such as the accordion and triangle to the mix are now considered the classic forro line-up Gonzaga’s tune "Asa Branca" is perhaps the most popular and beloved forro song People from the Northeast would migrate to the favelas (slums) during the dry season and would often sing with nostalgia of returning to the land when the rains came The protagonist in "Asa Branca" sings of having to leave the land and his lover because there’s no rain and he can’t make a living. Yes it’s a sad song; but he does promise to return.  you can watch the great Luiz Gonzaga wears the traditional sertao cowboy outfit doing some fancy forro dance moves it’s good ol’ fashioned Brazilian country music for dancing Duo Choropo – Filippo Gambetta and Alessandro Scotto d’Aniello – Choropo (Visage Music s.a.s The album Choropo is a stimulating collaboration between Genoese musicians Filippo Gambetta (accordion and Brazilian mandolin) and Alessandro Scotto d’Aniello (seven-string Brazilian guitar). Together, they intertwine Brazilian choro, Venezuelan joropo and European folk traditions with original compositions Choropo is a dialog between instruments and cultures Gambetta and Scotto d’Aniello’s duo is augmented by guest musicians contributing percussion The album title itself brings together two beloved genres: Brazilian choro a music style born in Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century with roots in jazz and Afro-Brazilian rhythms a lively traditional dance music in triple time the duo reinterprets “Pagão” by Pixinguinha a foundational figure in choro; as well as ‘Sorriso de Cristal” by Luiz Americano “Louco por Música” by Portinho adds a jazz-infused twist while Gambetta’s original piece “Andorinhões” celebrates springtime in Genoa You can hear European folk influences on tracks like “Nany,” a homage to valse musette by Joseph Colombo;

SPSS we constructed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calculated the areas under the curve (AUC) of the hub gene We compared AUC as an indicator of the models These results demonstrated the diagnostic efficiency of these genes Screening of DEGs in GSE23586 and GSE7621 datasets (A) Heatmap of DEGs between the normal sample and periodontitis sample in GSE23586 dataset (B) Heatmap of DEGs between the normal sample and Parkinson’s disease sample in GSE7621 dataset and blue rectangles represent low expression (C) Volcano plot of DEGs between the normal sample and periodontitis sample in GSE23586 dataset (D) Volcano plot of DEGs between the normal sample and Parkinson’s disease sample in GSE7621 dataset the black plots represent nonsignificant genes and the blue plots represent downregulated genes (E) Venn diagram of common DEGs from GSE23586 (|logFC| >2 and p < 0.05) and GSE7621 (|logFC| >1 and p < 0.05) dataset Venn diagrams of the DEGs in the GSE23586 and GSE7621 datasets are presented in Figure 2E. As seen, there were 15 common UP genes and four common DOWN genes. Details of these common genes are presented in Table 1 In the present study, 39 GO terms were identified, including 23 biological process (BP) terms, 4 cellular component (CC) terms, and 12 molecular function (MF) terms (adjusted p-value, P. adj. <0.1 & q-value <0.2). The top enriched functional category terms were are shown in Figure 3A and are presented in Table 2 The enriched GO terms included cornification and epidermis development in the BP category; cornified envelope and parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse in the CC category; and structural constituent of the epidermis and endopeptidase regulator activity in the MF category GO and KEGG analysis of DEGs in GSE23586 and GSE7621 datasets (A) GO function enrichment analysis of DEGs in GSE23586 and GSE7621 dataset (B) Enrichment analysis of the KEGG signaling pathway of DEGs in GSE23586 and GSE7621 dataset Furthermore, seven enriched KEGG terms with P. adj. < 0.1 & q-value <0.2 were identified. The most enriched functional pathway terms are shown in Figure 3B and presented in Table 3 To investigate the association of the DEGs, PPI networks with an interaction score > 0.7 were analyzed in the STRING online database (Figure 4). We used the nodes to represent genes and the edges to represent connections between genes. Cytoscape was used to present the key PPI network modules. As shown in Figures 5A–D four key modules were identified: late cornified envelope 2B (LCE2B) loricrin cornified envelope precursor protein (LOR) solute carrier family 18 member A2 (SLC18A2) arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase 12R type (ALOX12B) ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 12 (ABCA12) cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily F member 22 (CYP4F22) immunoglobulin lambda-like polypeptide 5 (IGLL5) These were the central nodes in the protein interaction network PPI network of DEGs in GSE23586 and GSE7621 dataset The key PPI network modules in GSE23586 and GSE7621 dataset (A–D) Four key PPI network modules were performed by Cytoscape Functional enrichment analysis and ROC curve of hub genes (A) Top 15 nodes of PPI networks of DEGs in GSE23586 and GSE7621 dataset Diagnostic value of 4 hub genes with ROC curves in GSE23586 dataset (C) and in GSE23586 dataset (D) Furthermore, these 15 hub genes were significantly enriched in three KEGG signaling pathways: amphetamine addiction, dopaminergic synapses, and serotonergic synapses (Figure 6B; Table 5) The study aimed to investigate the association between neurodegenerative disorders and periodontitis the development of predictive biomarkers is a key area of PD research The hub genes screened in this study might become potential diagnostic or therapeutic biomarkers of PD in future These findings are consistent with the diagnostic value we assessed and SLC6A3 were the hub genes obtained in our study indicating that our results are verifiable and credible using a series of bioinformatics tools for gene expression profiling we established PPI network between PD and periodontitis we enriched signaling pathways in the molecular modulation network through bioinformatics analysis Our findings suggest a close relationship between chronic periodontitis and PD Our results provide prospective targets for the future diagnosis and treatment of PD patients with chronic periodontitis subsequent in vitro and in vivo studies should be performed to validate our findings Our results may guide future research on the molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between PD and periodontitis and may provide new potential targets for diagnosis and therapy The datasets presented in this study can be found in online repositories The names of the repository/repositories and accession number (s) can be found in

From an English mother and Portuguese father, we exchange experiences between the two cities when I let him into my meeting room. Mariana Baião Santos: Tell me about the title of the exhibition, what’s a Thicket for you? Theodore Ereira-Guyer: I think a lot of the time I’ve been making work I’ve been interested in removing the horizon line, the Western aspect of the singular perspective, the vanishing point. So, I’ve been interested in these kinds of things like the forest, the desert. In the thicket you are fully immersed in the space, there isn’t one singular thing to focus on. MBS: I have to admit, the first few times I read the title of the exhibition, I thought it was “ticket”, as in a ticket to travel and I was trying to find the signs of a voyage, but it’s quite interesting you say that as it is the opposite, as you can feel stagnant without perspective. TEG: Yes, there’s a sense of not knowing where to travel. It’s like the desert, there are none of those topographical signs, a ‘turn left on the supermarket’ kind of thing, no man-made phenomena in order to locate ourselves. MBS: You talk a lot about memory and density and how that relates to the thicket… TEG: Because there’s less to look at in some ways, less for the mind to focus on visually, I feel there’s a chance for a mental landscape, for memory to be the focus. This Finnish architect, Juhani Pallasmaa, I am quite interested in, talks about the qualities of grey and I think I’ve extended that into mono colour and low contrast images. He talks about grey as in, because there is less to focus on, it allows more expansive space for the mind. MBS: When I first came in, what came to mind was theatre, staging, ancient greek culture and mythology, from the columns, the ruins, the setting… I liked that the drawings are two-dimensional but with the panelling they become a set, how did that come to be? How does the wood relate to the paper and the thicket? I’ve been thinking a lot about my landscapes how they inhabit the mental space but also how you can be physically in front of them, you as the viewer becoming that actor in space. And too about the performative qualities there are around an artwork, not from a sociological perspective but more of a ritualistic art experience. MBS: In that perspective, something that seems important to you is material, as an integrant part of the work. TEG: Definitely, using wood, paper, cotton, it’s not a completely ecological perspective of not wanting to use plastics, but there’s an aspect of only wanting to use timeless materials, so they can be a conversation with antiquity, in the sense that there is a longer, durational human experience. It’s not about assuming modernity but about creating a longer dialogue. MBS: I was thinking about the conversation between the trees in the thicket, the wood and the paper, as stages of production or decomposition. TEG: It’s not something I thought about, maybe on an unconscious level but I like that as a thought. MBS: What’s the fascination with etchings? As they are reproducible but you make them unique. TEG: I like the quality of the mark-making, there’s a sense of rich depth and texture which is at the same time incredibly flat. I’m doing it to achieve a specific quality, by making one and making them unique I feel it’s an extension of a painting practice. I like the aspect of working on the etching plate for this singular moment of revelation. When you’re painting you make a mark and you can see what it is straight away, with an etching you’re not going to see what it looks like until it goes to print. MBS: Is there a certain kind of relief in letting go of the final result? TEG: Definitely, definitely. I’m working day in and day out, how can you keep that energy alive? One of the ways I do that is by relying on the etching print process. MBS: I really liked this quote you mentioned “Here everything looks like it is under construction, but it is already in ruins”, Claude Lévi-Strauss declared when he visited Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the 1930s. The ambiguity and the co-existence of two conflicting realities, is this an idea that revolves in your practise? Or is it more specific to this exhibition? TEG: There’s a Proust quote I was thinking about a lot, as I’ve been thinking about frescos, he talks about when a fresco begins to disappear, a new image is created, so I get this duality about appearing and disappearing, ruins and construction. This has definitely been a prolonged preoccupation over the years. This is too one of the exciting things about the art object, I’m not making videos or 3D work, I love this ephemeral part of the art experience, how it changes over the years. MBS: Finally, any upcoming exciting projects you can tell us about? TEG: I’m going to São Paulo, I have a solo show with The Bridge Project. And then I’ll have a two person show with a Dutch artist, who makes lovely tapestries, in October in Lisbon. We continue to discuss banalities, conjuring up a possible time when we might meet in person in one country or another.

In the next edition there are 'forrobodó' and 'forró.' By all accounts the latter is short for the former.” Philologist Evanildo Bechara believes 'forrobodó' comes from 'forbodó,' a Galician word Geography and history of music are said to further debunk the connection between "forró" and "for all." Sandroni advocated the theory according to which forró was born away from the coast of Natal The original roots may lie further into the country in the Northeast Sandroni also argues that “forró has become an expression of the people of the Brazilian Northeast along with other characteristics and values.” the meaning of the word "forró" shifted to designate not just a specific genre in addition to forró itself,” he went on to explain Chief in Sandroni’s melting pot of genres is Luiz Gonzaga’s baião The specialist mentioned the central role played by Gonzagão in the 40s when Northeastern culture was asserting itself “The baião is an enterprise deliberately embarked upon by Luiz Gonzaga and his partners Humberto Teixeira [1915-197] Farias says that even how musicians are positioned on stage for a forró show is Gonzagão’s doing He was very particular about that,” he revealed The three instruments are European in origin It’s what you do with the instruments,” he said “The accordion is obviously European.” The same can be said of zambumba even though common sense identifies it as an African drum you find this assembling and tying style in the Iberian Peninsula,” he added other forms of musical expression were recognized by Iphan as intangible material and the bell tolls in historical Minas Gerais state.
