Olodum is an Afro-Brazilian drum school in the city of Salvador, Bahia. It was founded on April 25, 1979 during the carnival period as a leisure option for residents of Maciel-Pelourinho, thus guaranteeing them the right to play carnival in a block and in an organized way. It is a non-governmental organization (NGO) of the Brazilian black movement.[3] Its headquarters are located in the Historic Center of Salvador, Pelourinho, where most of its performances take place. And, currently, its director is João Jorge.[4] It develops actions to combat social discrimination, stimulates the self-esteem and pride of Afro-Brazilians, defends and fights to ensure the civil and human rights of marginalized people in Bahia and Brazil.
