Thailand Brazil "Your experience in Salvador is going to be unique. You will find a mixture of people and cultures unlike anywhere else in the world..." - Walkiria Brown, Brazil Country Director Brazil is such a large country that it can be considered a region on its own. It comprises more than half of the continent of South America; its beaches, rainforests, mountains, and plains are some of the most beautiful anywhere. When you travel to Brazil you'll find a wider range of flora and fauna than in any other country in the world. One of the most diverse nations, Brazil has a population made up of people of European, Asian, Arab, African and indigenous descent. Because Brazil was colonized by Portugal in the early eighteen hundreds, its language is Portuguese, but its culture is a unique mix of international influences. Regardless of their backgrounds, the people are uniquely Brazilian and are famed for their seemingly limitless optimism.

82. Capoeira Of San Jose - A Brazilian Martial Art - The History Capoeira is a brazilian martial art developed by the slaves over 400 yrs. ago. It combines Martial Arts, Music, Dance, history, Portuguese, Culture, Tradition http://www.capoeirasj.com/history/

@import "/stylesheets/general.css"; PREFACE THE BEGINNING In 1500's the Portuguese, led by explorer Pedro Alvares Cabral, arrived in Brazil. One of the first measures taken by the new arrivals was the subjugation of the local population, the Brazilian Indians, in order to furnish the Portuguese with slave labor (for sugarcane and cotton). The experience with the aborigines was a failure. The Indians quickly died in captivity or fled to their nearby homes. The Portuguese then began to import slave labor from Africa. On the other side of the Atlantic, free men and women were captured, loaded onto ghastly slave ships and sent on nightmarish voyages that for most would end in perpetual bondage. The Africans first arrived by the hundreds and later by the thousands (approximately four million in total).Three major African groups contributed in large numbers to the slave population in Brazil, the Sudanese group, composed largely of Yoruba and Dahomean peoples, the Mohammedanized Guinea-Sudanese groups of Malesian and Hausa peoples, and the "Bantu" groups (among them Kongos, Kimbundas, and Kasanjes) from Angola, Congo and Mozambique. THE FOREFATHERS Who or what is responsible for Capoeira? Where did the foundation of capoeira come from? That is the eternal question that can never really be answered. The Bantu groups are believed to have been the foundation for the birth of Capoeira. They brought with them, from Africa, their culture, a culture that was not stored away in books and museums but rather in the body, mind, heart and soul. A culture that was transmitted from father to son, throughout generations. There was candomble', a religion; the berimbau, a musical instrument; vatapa, a food; and so many other things. Basically a way of life.

Brazilian Citizenship Oral History Project This is a bilingual page. Click to see the Portuguese version. Esta é uma página bilíngüe. Clique aqui para ver a versão em Portuguese A group of scholars in Brazil, the United States, and England have embarked on a long-term project to survey the history of the concept of citizenship in Brazil. We are particularly interested in how ordinary Brazilians have understood their rights and responsibilities as citizens. We want to interview men and women from all walks of life, from all age and economic groups, and from all regions of Brazil.. We are looking for volunteers to help by doing interviews and sending the results to us . They may be in Portuguese or in English. Any interview must be accompanied by a written statement signed by the interviewee and giving permission to use the interview for educational purposes. The interviewee may give permission to use his or her name, or may wish to use a pseudonym or remain anonymous. In this case, no permission is needed. Volunteers will receive full acknowledgment for their work and will retain personal use of all materials they generate. They will become full collaborative members of the team. When the project is completed, two books will result: one in Portuguese for a Brazilian audience and one in English for a North American audience.

In return for help from the Brazilian politician Gastao Gracie, Koma taught jiu-jitsu to Gastao's son Carlos. Carlos in turn taught his brothers (most notably Helio). They went on to further refine the art via constant no-rules competition, developing what is now known as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. More...

95. Great People In Brazilian Literature. Writers, Poets, Artists Brief information on each of the major writers of Brazil and their contributions. http://www.brazilbrazil.com/literary.html

HIGHLIGHTS OF BRAZILIAN LITERATURE GREAT MAJOR FIGURES IN BRAZILIAN ART. I FEEL THEY REPRESENT WELL THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE LAST 500 YEARS. Luis de Camoes Any study of Brazilian art must begin with Luis de Camoes (1525 - 1580), Portugal's national poet. Born in Lisbon to an impoverished noble family, he joined a military expedition to the Orient to seek fame and fortune, but returned penniless. While in Macau, off the coast of China, in a cave, he wrote the Lusiadas , the great Portuguese national epic (Kind of like Shakespeare writing his plays in a hut in Afghanistan). The development of all subsequent Portuguese (and Brazilian) literature can be traced to this work. Camoes totally dominates all poetic currents of his time. He also wrote beautifully structured sonnets and lyric poems. Camoes died in poverty and obscurity. A giant of his era, he has influenced writers in many languages, including the great English poets of the Elizabethan era (Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese : "How do I love thee, let me count the ways").
