History
Serrinha favela was born with the abolition of slavery, when freed slaves sought places to live near where they had lived.
Before the community existed, the hill was a well-known spot for a stroll among the residents of Madureira, who would climb the hill on weekends in search of its privileged view of the neighborhood. On one of these outings, a group found an image of Saint Joseph, and then, following what happened in Aparecida, a cult would begin at the site, which ended up giving rise to the famous "São José da Pedra" church, located at the top of the hill, with its facade facing the center of Madureira.

Serrinha also had a community of Syrians at its foot, already on the asphalt, who had arrived with the second wave of immigrants landing here in the 1920s. It was a large community that became known for one of its most famous members, the review theater actress Zaquia Jorge, founder of the first theater in Madureira, who died prematurely in an accident in the waters of Barra beach. In her honor, the famous sambas "Madureira chorou" and "Estrela de Madureira" were composed.
"Serrinha and Its Connection to Jongo"

Image description: The image is a color photograph of a cultural event in a shopping mall. On the left side, we see two people dancing, dressed in traditional samba de roda costumes. Behind them, there is a large store with the word "casadojongo" visible at the top. In the center, several people are watching the performance, some holding cameras. In the background, more people are spread throughout the mall area, observing the event.Jongo came from the slave quarters, from the coffee plantations of the Southeast's Vale do Café. It is one of Serrinha's intangible heritages, along with umbanda, partido alto, samba de raiz, and the popular festivals of São Jorge and São Cosme e Damião. In Serrinha, jongo has the distinctive feature of being urban, connected to the city and to power, because Rio was the capital of Brazil for decades during the Republic. Minister Edgar Romero, who today gives his name to a major avenue in Madureira, was one of the influential politicians with whom the jongueiros -- mostly dockworkers from the Cais do Porto -- built relationships.
