'Suite das Amazonas' tells the story of the icamiabas, a mythological tribe of women warriors who inhabited what is known today as the Amazon forest. 'Icamiabas' is a term in Tupi meaning “women without husbands”. According to some historical accounts, when European explorers arrived in South America in the sixteenth century, they encountered long-haired indigenous women observing them from the riverbanks of what is now known as the Amazon River. These explorers later reported having discovered the lands of the fearsome Amazons from the Greek legend, naming the region the “Kingdom of the Amazons.”
