Brazil is home to the largest black population outside Africa and the second largest in the world, just behind Nigeria, which has an estimated population of 85 million. The profound cultural connection between Africa and Brazil characterizes this project, which is a symbiosis of the works of Alegre Corrêa and François Muleka. Both composers and multi-instrumentalists lend the original repertoire the rhythm of common ancestry. The name "Gondwana", which once encompassed the continent where both Brazil and Africa are located, perfectly defines the connection between these two Brazilian artists.
