The African Influence On Brazilian Popular Culture By Linda Jackson Overview Rationale Objectives Strategies Classroom Activities Annotated Bibliography/Resources Appendices Standards Overview Initially, I wanted to create a unit that would give my students a global perspective on popular culture. Several weeks into the class on Latin American Popular culture I realized how much of an influence United States popular culture has on Latin America popular culture. Creating a curriculum that would focus on the African influence on popular culture in the United States and in Latin America seemed to be an interesting prospect. Teen interest is always focused on popular culture. Taking that interest and using it as a motivation for an in depth study of the African influence on Latin American popular culture, specifically in Brazil, seemed to be a project that would have great success. When teaching English, I hope to bring to my students a new understanding of the African influence on Brazilian popular culture. The African influence is evident in the plethora of genres of popular culture in Brazil.

Crumbley (deidre_crumbley@ncsu.edu) Course Meets on T and TH in HA 154 / 1:05-2: 20 PM Office Hours: Room #7 2806 Hillsborough Street COURSE JUSTIFICATION: Do Africans believe in a transcendent God or do they worship idols. Do Africans have a “religious faith” or is what they believed best described as “superstition”? Do and can Africans worship without bloody rituals? Africa has been known to the West since the time of Herodotus, yet such questions are still being raised by American college graduates, laden with antiquated and inaccurate conceptions about African culture and religion. This deficit is significant for two reasons. First, religion provides an ideational window through which outsiders not only view but also evaluate the community of faith. If the faith is deemed “superstitious blood-letting” the humanity of the believers is diminished, and this readily informs the ideological underpinning of policy formation related to these people. Secondly, African religion is not a local phenomenon.

The conquering army and bringer of the enslaved from from Africa, was Portugal, who had plundered west Africa like the other Europeans, but had brought Africans from Yoruba, Dahomey, and Kongo-Angola. Angola became a Portuguese colony where the language is still spoken, and the songs are very similar to some of the Brazilian laments. In Brazil there was a much larger cultural input from the Amazonian Indians (the indigenous Indians in Cuba soon died out, presumably through disease, but maybe through their inability to adapt to the new 'rule'. Amazonian cultures had enormous areas of forest to retreat to and therefore the cultures survived much better). Just as Bahia and Recife (NE Brazil) are outposts of Yoruban culture, Sao Luis de Maranhao in the north received many Dahomeans slaves from Dahomey known as

We have chosen to spell "Aché" in is original form. Others spell the same word as "Axé." We learned that "Aché" means the positive energy that moves the universe or everything that is positive. Perhaps, it is better explained by Mestre Acordeon in his Capoeira book. History of Capoeira One theory is that about four hundred years ago in the Brazilian soil, when African slaves were in captivity, the slaves looking for a way to escape, blended their combat moves with ritual dances adding the musical instruments. The slave masters would assume they were having a festival or a celebration. Therefore, the slaves incorporated many different dance moves together with martial arts to disguise as a dance. It worked! Slaves later used this dance-martial arts to fight their oppressors and gain freedom. The slaves took advantage of the forests, hiding themselves, and eventually forming what was to become the "Quilombo dos Palmares," a refugee camp for the slaves. Capoeira is now a national sport, and the popularity of the art is on a rapid rise and continues to gain a steady following. Capoeira has already attracted a few celebrity followers such as Wesley Snipes, Mark Decascos, Jean Claude Van Damme and others. Capoeira is now considered a beautiful art form, known as the most hypnotic and interesting art form yet to come out of Brazil.

Cuba y Brasil: etnohistoria del empleo religioso del lenguaje afroamericano . By William W. Megenney. Miami: Ediciones Universal, 2000. 354 pp. $29.95. For many individuals, delving into Afro-Caribbean religion has been a source of curiosity and, lately, an avenue to understand an important part of the past of one of the most significant ethnic groups that composes hybrid America. Only through understanding certain fragments of a common past is it possible to comprehend today's reality. The black presence in Latin America, strongly tied to an uprooted and an enslaved past, has contributed to enriching the cultural mosaic of the so-called new continent. However, there are many details that must be further analyzed in order to trace back common links that may suggest similarities among black populations in various places of the Spanish Caribbean and South America. and Brazilian cults such as Umbanda , and Q uimbanda Megenney is not new to these types of studies. He has several publications on African influences on Brazil and the Spanish-Caribbean countries. This ambitious project includes a series of previous investigations. The author also looks at black slavery in the Americas with the purpose of establishing the connection between the African past and the current reality of black religion juxtaposed with Catholic beliefs. One must not forget that this culture survived the whip and hard labor thanks in part to the oral traditions passed from generation to generation. What blacks brought in their memories, besides the horrors of being pulled away from their nation and their identity, is what today forms a subculture in a much wider social spectrum that is represented in contemporary Latin America.

Bahia was the last colonial command to join independent Brazil - it remained loyal to Portugal for two years - and was the scene of the War of Canudos one of the most bloody popular revolts ever recorded in the country's history.

ADMINISTRATIVIA ENERO - JUNIO 1994 Busca en E.I.A.L.: The Social Impact of Afro-Brazilian Cult Religion ROBERT M. LEVINE University of Miami In the days of slavery, the unmerciful regimen of forced labor was broken only by Sunday's as a day of rest - and this not always observed - and by the days in the annual calendar given to observances of religious origin, especially the exuberant festival of Carnival (from the medieval Latin Carne-vale, or "flesh to be shed'~ in the days preceding Lent. By the late nineteenth century, this pattern had been expanded to the larger population, and broadened to include not only Catholic festivals but also civic commemorations. During the twentieth century, the arrival of soccer as the national sport added still another set of days during which the playing of critically important matches galvanized national interest among almost all social groups. During World Cup play every four years, in fact, virtually all work ceases during important matches, followed by wild street celebrations and frenzied euphoria when the team wins. Whether the bread-and-circuses nature of the way Brazilians, rich and poor, were specifically permitted to rest and to blow off steam according to the religious, civic and sportive calendars was a conscious safety device by managers and officials is dubious. In any case, the effect remained salutatory. Brazilian celebrations, exuberant national rituals, have historically bound together members of disparate social groups and cancelled, if temporarily, the rigid unspoken rules of segregated Brazilian society that prescribed behavior and language in a world where everyone knew their place.
