If you think that cachaça is a Brazilian invention, wait a minute!
At the same time that Messias S. Cavalcante brings about documented facts about this popular spirit disttiled from fermented juice of sugarcane or sugarcane plant by-products he destroys myths and reveals the facts about this Brazilian rum.
The narrative is based on more than 700 references ranging from colonizers to adventurers, pirates, priests, scientific visitors, official documents and others.
The history of the creation of cachaça is presented in details demonstrating the roles of native Indian and African slaves as well as the Europeans on the process. The routine of the Catholic Church using cachaça as a tool to catechize people is also shown as well as the result of this approach which was to convert almost the whole nation to devotees not necessarily to religion, but to cachaça!
