O Sal da Vida

Jorge Amado was an aggregator and throughout his life formed a large collection of friends from all over the world, from the most diverse backgrounds and occupations. Many of these friends were important names in 20th century culture and thought. His house was always open to them, in a permanent celebration of the joy of living and the union between people. Among these friends, three had special importance: Caymmi, Verger, and Carybé. It is the history of this friendship, which went beyond real life and penetrated art and the battle for the valorization of popular culture, that our project dives into. A friendship that became the salt of Brazilian life.
