Caboclo
The term caboclo (which in Candomblé is usually pronounced without the l, as caboco) comes from the Tupi word kari’boka, meaning ‘deriving from the white’. Thus its primary meaning is mestizo, ‘a person of an Indian and European descent.’ But it may also be used to refer to any Brazilian Indian.
The term caboco is also used as an alternate term for the Orishas of the Candomblé religion. The caboco is also an Orisha.
The “Day of the Caboclo” (Dia do Caboclo), on June 24, is an official date of the State of Amazonas.
