For a while now, i hav bn burryin ma head collectin info on tha country called Brazil. Why Brazil? Well, due 2 my interest in history n cultural anthropology. A little of wat ive learned so far. Three-quaters of all tha slaves taken from The Afrikas ended up in Brazil. Consequently, brazil has tha biggest population of black folk outside of The Afrikas. You can find variations of Afrikan languages such as Yoruba n Kibundu being spoken in some places in brazil. Afrikan deities such as Obatala, Shango, Exu n Yemaya are still revered by some black populations in brazil. The martial arts rhythmic perfomance known as capoeira is one of brazils cultural bench marks. Capoeira was a dance performance translocated by slaves taken from present day Angola. For those who watched tha movie Fast Five, the theme song Danza Kuduro by Don Omar n Lucenzo is inpired by a dance originating from Angola known as kuduro which 4cuses on intricate movement of tha feet (almost a cousin to south afrikan pantsula)...2bkontinewed
