Who
has not heard of Saci Pererê, Mula-sem-Cabeça, Cuca, Curupira and so many other
figures from Brazilian folklore?
These characters are part of Brazilian culture
but in these days of the Internet, cell phones and satellite TV they are losing
ground in the imagination of today’s kids.
But at least during August, Folklore
Month, these myths of the popular imagination will be remembered all over
Brazil.
