Brasil es un país gigante que fascina por su mestizaje. Las raíces indígenas,
europeas, asiáticas y africanas, entre muchas otras, dan lugar a un
verdadero mosaico de gentes caracterizado por una variedad étnica y
cultural que se expresa a través de sus tradiciones, gastronomía, folclore,
arte, arquitectura y celebraciones.
Los brasileños también tienen una de las fiestas de carnaval más intensas,
coloridas y populares del mundo entero, el famoso carnaval de Rio de
Janeiro. En Brasil, el carnaval es una celebración que se vive como toda una
verdadera fiesta nacional, en la que todos bailan al ritmo de las escolas do
samba, del más pequeño al más grande.
El samba es un estilo musical muy popular en Brasil, que vino con los pueblos
bantúes, los cuales llegaron desde África, además, recibió también una
buena influencia portuguesa. Se trata de un ritmo fuerte, se utilizan toda
clase de instrumentos de percusión y se vuelve realmente muy contagioso.
Se ha convertido en un género musical tan importante en Brasil que ha
dado lugar a muchos otros nuevos, como por ejemplo la bossa nova.
Brazil is the country that receives the most tourists in South America.
Brazil is a giant country that fascinates for its miscegenation. The indigenous,
European, Asian and African roots, among many others, give rise to a true
mosaic of people characterized by an ethnic and cultural variety expressed
through its traditions, gastronomy, folklore, art, architecture and celebrations.
The Brazilian geography is also very varied. It goes from the paradisiacal
beaches of the Atlantic to the dense jungle of the Amazon and from the
overpopulated metropolises like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to the flood-
prone desert of Maranhão. This incredible variety has led to very different
lifestyles and foods.
A detail that gives a clue to the impressive culinary variety is that a dish with
the same name can refer to completely different elaborations depending on
the place. For example, the couscous, which from São Paulo to Rio Grande
do Sul is a semolina with sardines while from Rio de Janeiro to the northeast is
a sweet. The basic ingredients of Brazilian cuisine are rice, beans, cereals and
fruits, and the most widespread dish is feijoada, a stew made from beans,
pork and rice.
In Brazil, music enjoys a prominent role in popular culture. It has diverse origins
and with the spread of immigrants throughout the territory, each region of
the country has developed its own rhythm. The cheerful and festive
character is also very characteristic of the Brazilians, but when talking about
parties there is one that stands out above all: the carnival of Rio de Janeiro.
For a week the streets of the city become an authentic party full of music,
dances and parades that attract thousands of tourists from around the world.
The indigenous, European, Asian and African roots, among many others, give

Brazilians also have one of the most intense, colorful and popular carnival
parties in the world, the famous Rio de Janeiro carnival. In Brazil, the carnival
is a celebration that is experienced as a true national holiday, in which
everyone dances to the rhythm of the samba schools, from the smallest to
the largest.
The carnival takes place about 40 days before Easter. During those days,
more than 2 million people gather in the streets, next to the sambadrome, to
observe and participate in the parade of the colorful and immense floats
along with the musicians, dancers and vedettes with very little clothing.
The samba is a very popular musical style in Brazil, which came with the Bantu
peoples, who came from Africa, and also received a good Portuguese
influence. It is a strong rhythm, all kinds of percussion instruments are used
and it really becomes very contagious. It has become such an important
musical genre in Brazil that it has given rise to many new ones, such as bossa
nova.
Brazil is a mostly Catholic country, however, the Brazilian people are very
diverse and very open minded. Often, this diversity manifests itself in a unique
blend of religious practices, a clear example being the Umbandista religion.
These are groups that fuse African religious doctrines with Catholics, this
being a phenomenon unique in the world.
When you arrive, do not be surprised if people treat you in a very effusive
way, Brazilians usually hug, clap their shoulders and be very communicative,
even if they do not know you. They are very friendly people but they forget
quickly, so do not feel bad or offended, if the next day they do not recognize
you.
