More than 300 Indigenous peoples live in Brazil, each with its own songs, flutes and maracas tied to ritual, work and memory. Pero Vaz de Caminha's letter (1500) already describes Indigenous people dancing; today artists such as Djuena Tikuna, Brô MC's and Kaê Guajajara carry these languages into rap, pop and song.
