background

Pernambuco was one of the first regions in Brazil to be settled by European colonial rulers. The economic exploration in the "Zona da Mata" concentrated first on the deforestation of Pau-Brasil (Pernambuco wood) and later on sugar cane plantations. The presence of indigenous Brazilians, Portuguese Catholic settlers, and African slaves resulted in the state building a strong and complex cultural heritage that can be seen in the state's musical architecture (which can be admired in cities such as Olinda, Goiana, and Igarassu) styles how Frevo (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Maracatu as well as a variety of religious and non-religious festivals. The state was also briefly colonized by the Dutch, who also left their legacy behind, and even after independence, Pernambuco retained strong geopolitical relevance despite the state's small size.
