Sumario:This research aims to explore and describe how the Rastafarian movement has manifested their beliefs in Fortaleza, Ceará. After a comprehensive view of the movement as it originated in Jamaica, I tried to identify the diversity of the culture and ethos of some Rastafarians who reside in Fortaleza, comparing them to general aspects of the movement in Jamaica. I also attempted to point out some traces of their livity that may have been influenced by the culture and identity of Brazil and Ceará. By adopting as a theoretical basis the concepts of culture and identity, I investigated the identity aspects of people who classify themselves as Rastafarians in Fortaleza, Ceará, through semi-structured interviews and through records of their memories. Other than the interviews, participant observations were also conducted, where I took part in events promoted by the interviewees, whose purpose was to observe their contexts and collect data to be analyzed later. Through these instruments I was able to explore and describe the peculiar manifestations of these members of the Rastafarian culture who reside in the capital city of Ceará.
