Antônio Luís de Almeida was a Brazilian Coffee Baron in Bananal, São Paulo. The white guy at the top-center of the photo is German conductor, Wiltem Sholtz. Most slave orchestras and ensembles were directed by European conductors.

In Brazil, slavery didn't end till 1888, so finding actual photographs of slave ensembles in existence shouldn't be surprising.
This group was often called "Banda do Tio Antoniquinho" and as many slave ensembles, would have to perform diverse functions.

Basden #XR: "#Europeans spread their toxicity around the world, they brought torture, genocide, carnage & suffering to the ends of the earth. Their cultural myths justified the horrors, idea that indigenous people were animals (not humans)"
