A journey through the songs and story of Brazilian singer Clementina de Jesus. Her most poetic sambas, the rhythmic sway of the drums and the religious chants that reveal a strong connection with the sacred world take us to the deep world of Quelé. A unique character in the history of Brazilian popular music, a granddaughter of slaves, she is considered by many as the missing link between Brazilian culture and its African roots.
