About the Cana Brava Logo:

The Cana Brava logo, designed by Walter Mariano, depicts a cortador de cana --  a cane cutter...sugarcane being to Bahia what cotton was to the South of the United States.  And like the cotton so laboriously harvested by hand there, the sugarcane harvested here didn't remain long in the calloused hands of those who sweated under the bright sun for it.

Cana Brava was a common name given to sugarcane plantations here in Bahia, the thrust being that the slaves were told that cana brava -- dangerous cane in this particular sense -- was poisonous; an attempt to ensure less "waste" in that those who harvested the stuff would be less likely to partake of it.

Well the cana was taken and crushed, but the spirit of the havesters -- manifested above all in the limited means available to them -- music and dance -- wasn't.  This is what our logo is meant to celebrate.
