Synopsis

Partido-Alto is a musical subgenre derived from samba, with its roots in the batucada of Bahia. It emerged as a distinct style within the broader samba tradition, characterized by its rhythmic complexity and energetic percussion. The genre reflects the cultural and musical influences of Bahia, incorporating elements of Afro-Brazilian rhythms and performance styles. Partido-Alto is often associated with the vibrant samba scene of Salvador, where it has played a significant role in local music and dance traditions.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
