Welcome to Algoritimado podcast,

Usually we do this in Portuguese, however today we have this special Podcast post in English, so we can tell more people outside of Brazil, about the Brazilian Golden Grass, the main source of income of the Quilombo Mumbuca (Indigenous and African descent community) located in the middle of Jalapão in the state of Tocantins, Brazil.

The remarkable story of Mumbuca, a small Brazilian village in the Tocantins region, centers around an extraordinary natural treasure - golden grass, or "Capim Dourado." This unique plant, with its distinctive shimmer under sunlight, has become the cornerstone of local culture, economy, and artistic expression. The grass's natural golden hue creates an almost magical appearance, evoking a sense of luxury and rarity that has captivated people worldwide.

To know more, you can visit our website mumbuca.com, which you can find more stories and where also you will find a shop that showcases some of the products made by the artisans of Quilombo Mumbuca.
