Brazilian culture,
in motion
ABOUT GINGA
GINGA is a Brazilian cultural production company creating experiences through music, food, art, stories and the people who carry them.
Born from saudade
FROM OUR FOUNDER
Maybe GINGA started long before I knew it did.
I keep seeing this idea online: behind every girl who loves to celebrate, there’s often a mom who made celebrations feel special. For me, that was my mom.
She always made a point of celebrating my birthdays - bringing people together and turning those moments into memories. And Brazilian culture was always part of how I grew up, from Carnaval and Festa Junina to the music, food and traditions that made home feel like home.
Years later, living far from Brazil, saudade made me notice how much those little things mattered.
GINGA grew from all of it: a love for Brazilian culture, the desire to stay connected to home, and the belief that bringing people together can create something worth remembering.
BEHIND GINGA
Made by people who live itGINGA is a woman-owned, Brazilian-founded cultural production company built by a small creative team with a shared love for Brazilian culture, community and the possibilities that happen when people come together.

WHERE WE’RE GOING
GINGA was born in Portland, Oregon, but the vision has always been bigger than one city. We want to create new ways for Brazilian culture to be experienced, shared and carried forward - wherever GINGA goes next.
