SFWednesdays - Fogo Na Roupa
Event WebsiteAbout
Fogo Na Roupa is a Brazilian Carnaval dance and percussion company based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Fogo Na Roupa was fouded in 1989 by our beloved Mestre Carlos Aceituno. Under the direction of Mestre Aceituno, Fogo has grown to be a diverse community of revelers and carnavalescos rooted in the study of Afro-Brazilian dance and percussion. Mestre Aceituno developed a strong SFCarnaval contingent of upto 150 participants, a performing company, and ignited a community of youth.
Fogo Na Roupa remains today under the direction of Jose Rivera and Metzi Henriquez, with the same blazing energy that captures all… dedicated to the legacy of its original founder Mestre Carlos Aceituno. Axe!
