INFORMATION ABOUT THIS GROUP
From the summary for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTO3-5itQPI&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=TaleOfTwoNations [2012 performance? ]
"Maracatu Nação Estrela Brilhante is one of  Brazil's  oldest and most respected traditional maracatu groups.  Founded in 1906,  Estrela Brilhante  ('Bright Star')  has become one of the most renowned and respected traditional maracatu groups in the world.  Their music and performance reflect not only more than a century of history, but the entire history of the Afro-Brazilian people of northeastern Brazil.  It is a history condensed into a colorful and vibrant ritual, an ancient Carnival art filled with pulsating rhythms, call and response songs and infectious dance. Led by the legendary Mestre Walter and Queen/President Dona Marivalda  since 1993, Estrela Brilhante has accomplished several remarkable achievements including releasing  the first maracatu recording,  Amazônica (Sony Music), in 1996 and contributed a track to the live CD Pernambuco em Concerto (África Produções) in 1998.  They have performed throughout Brazil and hold numerous Carnival competition championship titles in Recife.  Over the last decade they have performed throughout Europe including EXPO 2000 in Hanover, Germany and other prestigious festivals.
