Quilombolo

	Quilombolo The Quilombola are an ethnic minority in Brazil. They live in closed communities, called quilombos. They trace back from slaves (mostly Angolan), brought to Brazil in the seventeenth century. One of their leaders was Chico Rei, a Congolese king captured and sold as a slave to a gold mine in Minas Gerais. He was the first to create a free quilombo. The word Quilombo comes from the Angolan word kilombo, which means "different." The quilombo was based on the African way of life, an African-European language was adopted and the religion they followed was a mixture of Christianity with African influences. As they had to fight for their existence ever since their establishment (against slave traders, the Dutch, the Portuguese, and Brazilian government), they keep closed, and their establishments are not freely accessible (because of Brazilian administration too). Quilombo's exist (but are not limited to) in Manqueira, Ilha de Mare Ilha (Portuguese for "island") may refer to the follo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Quilombo A ''quilombo'' (; from the Kimbundu word , ) is a Brazilian hinterland settlement founded by people of African origin, and others sometimes called Carabali. Most of the inhabitants of quilombos, called quilombolas, were maroons, a term for escaped slaves.

The term quilombo was not used until the 1670s, and then primarily in the more southerly parts of Brazil. In the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, such villages or camps were called .

They also regularly attempted to seize power and conducted armed insurrections at plantations to gain amelioration of conditions. Typically, q ...

	Chico Rei Chico Rei is a semi-mythic heroic figure from the slave trade in Brazil. According to oral tradition, in about 1740, Galanga, a tribal leader from the Congo, was taken along with a large part of his tribe and sold as a slave. They were brought from Africa to Brazil in a slave ship and during this journey his authority amongst his compatriots was noticed by the Portuguese slave traders who nicknamed him "Chico Rei". In Brazil he was set to work in the gold mines of Minas Gerais. By hiding flakes of gold about his body and in his hair, he amassed sufficient funds to allow him, after 5 years or so, to buy his son's freedom and later his own. He was also able to acquire the Encardideira gold mine in Vila Rica (now Ouro Preto Ouro Preto (, ''Black Gold''), formerly Vila Rica (, ''Rich Village''), is a city in and former capital of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, a former colonial mining town located in the Serra do Espinhaço mountains and designated a World Herita ...).
