Consulting Internet Brazilian- Portuguese.net Company About us Contact Imprint Brazilian culture is an extremely diverse Latin American culture. Its main early influence - aside from the original indigenous cultures - came from Portugal, due to strong colonial ties with the Portuguese empire which spread the Portuguese language, legal system, Catholic religion, and other cultural traditions. Brazilian culture also derives from other European influences, the beliefs and customs of the native South American peoples, as well as from African and Asian cultures. Although some nations pride themselves on fostering the peaceful coexistence of multiple cultures (multiculturalism), the Brazilian concept of culture is one of 'mixed unity', meaning that it is not exactly very open . People The Brazilian population, spread out over a continental-sized nation, reflects a wide ethnic and cultural mix. In general, Brazilians have a human warmth probably unsurpassed anywhere in the world. They are a remarkably happy people, with a spontaneous, enthusiastic and high-spirited nature - which they eagerly demonstrate at every oppportunity for a celebration, especially during the annual Carnival parades.

26. Brazil - History some combination of European, African, Amerindian, Asian, and Middle Eastern lineage,and this multiplicity of cultural legacies is a notable feature of current Brazilian culture. http://www.geographia.com/brazil/brazihistory.htm

BRAZIL History T he Portuguese were the first European settlers to arrive in the area, led by adventurous Pedro Cabral, who began the colonial period in 1500. The Portuguese reportedly found native Indians numbering around seven million. Most tribes were peripatetic, with only limited agriculture and temporary dwellings, although villages often had as many as 5000 inhabitants. Cultural life appears to have been richly developed, although both tribal warfare and cannibalism were ubiquitous. The few remaining traces of Brazil's Indian tribes reveal little of their lifestyle, unlike the evidence from other Andean tribes. Today, fewer than 200,000 of Brazil's indigenous people survive, most of whom inhabit the jungle areas. Other Portuguese explorers followed Cabral, in search of valuable goods for European trade but also for unsettled land and the opportunity to escape poverty in Portugal itself. The only item of value they discovered was the pau do brasil (brazil wood tree) from which they created red dye. Unlike the colonizing philosophy of the Spanish, the Portuguese in Brazil were much less focused at first on conquering, controlling, and developing the country. Most were impoverished sailors, who were far more interested in profitable trade and subsistence agriculture than in territorial expansion. The country's interior remained unexplored.

Login Hispanic Influenceson Brazilian Culture The purpose of this paper is to discuss Hispanic influences on Brazilian culture. It may be noted from the outset that Brazil differs from all other Latin American countries in that its predominant cultural influences have been Portuguese as opposed to Spanish. At the same time, Brazil may be characterized as a culturally diverse nation whose influences are as much Indian and African as they are Portuguese. These unique characteristics of Brazilian culture can be seen in the nation's historical development. Prior to the arrival of Portuguese sailors in the early sixteenth century, Brazil's population consisted entirely of Amerindians who were "concentrated along major rivers and a few strips of fertile coastal land" (Nyrop, 1983, p. 102). In the year 1500, Pedro Alvares Cabral, a Portuguese explorer, arrived on the shores of Brazil and claimed the territory in the name of Portugal. At the time, Spain and Portugal were in competition over the seizure of land in the New World. However, whereas Spain was able to conquer most of the lands of Central and South America, Portugal's acquisitions were limited to the region which has since become Brazil. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Portuguese established colonies in the region. In doing so, they imposed their own culture on the land while at the same time attempting to crush the culture of the indigenous Indians. During that period, the Portuguese rulers in Brazil also began importing African slaves (

40. Brazilian Culture Three major contributions to Brazilian Culture Indian, Portuguese and African The Indians. The Portuguese first arrived in Brazil on April 22, 1500. http://www.uky.edu/~cecilia/MUSIC/Brazil/Brazilian Culture.htm

Brazilian Culture Three major contributions to Brazilian Culture: Indian, Portuguese and African The Indians The Portuguese first arrived in Brazil on April 22, 1500. This occasion has been duly commemorated in a carnival song. We know quite a lot about what they found, in musical terms, thanks to two extraordinary accounts of the music of Brazilian aboriginals dating from the 16th century. The French Calvinist pastor and writer Jean de LÈry published in 1578 a book called Viagem ý Terra do Brasil (Journey to the Land of Brazil), in which there were included illustrations, detailed descriptions of dances and rituals, and transcriptions of some musical refrains of the Tupis. Gabriel Soares de Sousa, a Portuguese colonist and chronicler, described in his 1587 treatise called Tratado Descritivo do Brasil the songs, dances and musical instruments of several tribes. He says that the Tamoios "are great musicians and dancers, and composers of improvised songs" and that the Tupinamb·s "carry in their right hand a marac·, a gourd filled with pebbles." Brazilian Indian instruments still consist basically of those of percussion: rattles, drums, etc. and wind: flutes, whistles, and horns.
