Como os meus avós se conheceram
A grandchild tells how their grandparents met in São Luís in June 1975: Graça replaced a sick friend in a Bumba meu boi group, the rain sent everyone under a tree, and there she met Raimundo, soaked and laughing. They married the next year, and the family still goes to the festival every June.
