IPHAN’s advisory council approved registration of Maracatu Nação as Brazilian cultural heritage. The Afro-Pernambucan tradition includes processions, percussion, dance, and crowned figures linked to the memory of Black kings and queens and to religious communities. Its recognition credited the work of maracatu nations and their communities, whose practice was often exoticized during Carnival. Safeguarding requires respect for each nation’s authority and spiritual meanings rather than reducing the tradition to a staged spectacle.
