"The seed that [#Príncipe] #Custódio helped to cultivate resulted in a super crop. According to the 2022 Census, #RioGrandedoSul is the state with the highest percentage of adherents of African-based religions in the country, with 3.2%, compared to a national average of 1.05%. In the previous census, 2010, the state already occupied the first position, with 1.48%.

In Rio Grande, where the followers of #AfroBrazilian #religions add up to 9.28%, or the equivalent of more than 15,000 people, the party in praise of Iemanjá is held annually on February 2. This year, the demonstration brought together 150,000 people."
