Ganga Zumba is a Brazilian film made in 1963 by Carlos Diegues and released in 1972 about slavery in Brazil.

When he took power the Quilombo (which was how the havens built by runaway slaves were called) already had existed for approximately one hundred years.

Its soundtrack was composed by Moacir Santos and played by Nara Leão, with African rituals and dance performed by the Sons of Gandhy group.

Based on a book written by João Felício dos Santos, Ganga Zumba, the movie discusses the context of sugar production in the Brazilian Northeast during the 1600s, when slaves would flee from the Portuguese plantations and create their own villages, highlighting the Quilombo do Palmares' role in this process.

Eventually, they manage to find Palmares where they receive a king's welcome, despite pursuit by the slave hunter Tolentino da Rosa.
