Candangos or Warriors at Three Powers Plaza in Brasilia.
Candangos are native of Brasilia: workers who built the capital city and came mainly from Northeast.
8 meters high bronze sculpture honors these workers.
Created in 1959 by Bruno Giorgi.
The sculpture has become the symbol of the city.
The name Candango was born in Africa (Angola) – it was how the slaves referred to the Portuguese.
