Rastro de Pó is the first single of the EP Tombamento Inevitável, by Tagua Tagua, a solo project by Felipe Puperi from Wannabe Jalva. The music video was shot in Cruz das Almas, Bahia, known for holding the Fire Sword War in the month of June during St John celebrations. Although it is forbidden due to safety hazards, it’s been happening for decades and involves much of the local people.

“We were amazed by the strength of the tradition, the legacy – what is passed from generation to another. It’s something very powerful on this town” – tells the director, Douglas Bernardt.
The music, that talks about memory, light, shadow and legacy is the perfect inspiration for compelling and poetic images that tells the story of the mothers and children caught up on this tradition, a mix of fiction and real life.

“I was always fascinated by cultural manifestations that are typically Brazilian and by the challenge that is to portray them through a cinematic perspective. When we came across the Fire Sword War in Cruz das Almas we felt that the song had a strong connection with the essence of it. It was a perfect match”.

The video was shot in June of 2017 and was produced by Stink Films with a mostly local cast.
