underpin the traditional culture of the congada in the feast of Nossa Senhora do
Rosário in Monte do Carmo, in how the tradition is filled with love and devotion for the

geography, which is one of the pillars for the production of this project, and an
interview conducted by the academic of this project to the Congos of Monte do
Carmo - TO. Therefore, it can be concluded that the traditional and festive journey of
