The ceremony is also based on the production of knowledge about the counter-hegemonic possibilities that can be generated from the interactions provided in the process. In this work there is a brief insight into the production process of the event the Bata do Feijão which begins with the choice of the area to be cultivated goes through the various moments of 'cleaning' until it reaches its culmination which is the festive day when the Bata reaches its peak. Finally we are aiming for results that will provide us with elements to achieve the objectives proposed at the beginning of the research which are: to make the ceremony (re)known; to promote the dissemination and; the conservation of this characteristic of the subject/object communities.
