We, at Mzad Eventos, understand that culture is our greatest asset. It is what makes us different from other peoples. It is the center of a place's prosperity and wealth. To imagine a Bahia without samba-de-roda, without capoeira, without the baiana de acarajé, without toré, without Lagoa do Abaeté, without candomblé... is to imagine a Bahia without rhyme, without poetry.
