Back in 1992, a group of volunteers found it in themselves to devote their time and effort to salvage and preserve the cultural currency of the Brazilian People - It was then established as ABRASOFFA, Associação Brasileira dos Organizadores de Festivais de Folclore e Artes Populares, which is the Brazilian Association of the Organizers of Folklore and Popular Arts Festivals.

The organization's main mission is to bring culture to the schools and promote an idiosyncrasy and cultural identity which is free of violence and oriented to peace, as well as the respect for the indigenous peoples and their heritage - This is a non-government, non-profit organization, where all the participants volunteered.

In a very favorable joint venture with the IOV, Internationale organization für Volkskunst, which is the International Organization for Folklore, the Abrasoffa managed to get the recognition of the UNESCO for two of their projects in 2005, which were the 'Circuito BRASIL FEST IN FOLK - Festival Internacional de Folclore do Brasil®' and 'Rede de Jovens Voluntários pela Cultura da Paz'.
