This work intent to argue the relations between afoxés and the religions of divinities and entities, especially candomblé, in the cities of Recife and Olinda between the years of 1980 the 2000. Taken as candomblé of street for most of the intellectuals of the black movement in Pernambuco, the afoxezeiros are used of this speech to be defended of the attacks made for folklorist, memorialists and part of the intellectuals in Pernambuco. They accuse afoxé to be a Bahia's cultural manifestation and, therefore, not deserving of resources and attentions of them to be able public places. But what they are afoxés? Who makes them? Where those people lives? To who it serves the speeches of origin of the cultural manifestations? For this work they had been used as source interviews carried through with militant afoxezeiros and the black movement of Pernambuco, that will be analyzed to the light of the new approaches of the Social History of the Culture, beyond notice of periodicals Diário de Pernambuco and Jornal do Commercio.
