Salvador da Bahia is the capital of Bahia in the northeast of Brazil. Here the first portuguese discoverers landed in 1500 and the colonial time of the brazilian empire began. The historic center around the so called Pelourinho of Salvador da Bahia belongs to Unesco World Heritage Sites. The image shows some of the traditional african beat and shaking instruments which are still used by musicians of Bahia, like the Shekere or the bongo.
