AMÉRICA LATINA

Talvez um dia, não mais existam aramados
E nem cancelas, nos limites da fronteira
Talvez um dia milhões de vozes se erguerão
Numa só voz, desde o mar as cordilheiras
A mão do índio, explorado, aniquilado
Do Camponês, mãos calejadas, e sem terra
Do peão rude que humilde anda changueando
É dos jovens, que sem saber morrem nas guerras

América Latina, Latina América
Amada América, de sangue e suor

Talvez um dia o gemido das masmorras
E o suor dos operários e mineiros
Vão se unir à voz dos fracos e oprimidos
E as cicatrizes de tantos guerrilheiros
Talvez um dia o silêncio dos covardes
Nos desperte da inconsciência deste sono
E o grito do sepé na voz do povo
Vai nos lembrar, que esta terra ainda tem dono

E as sesmarias, de campos e riquezas
Que se concentram nas mão de pouca gente
Serão lavradas pelo arado da justiça
De norte a sul, no Latino Continente

Takumi Saitoh dancing Axé Music (Brazilian rhythm)

I made this montage just because I found it interesting the way as Takumi danced in the musical. Similar to the Brazilian way of dancing. Well ... more or less,right? He needs some more lessons. But until he shakes cool. ^_______^

The original video clip of É o Tchan no Havaí

If he comes for passing the holidays in Bahia or in Rio de Janeiro, surely he would learn to dance Samba and Axe quickly. Takumi has a talent for dancing.

Capoeira is in our blood

(video by Chibi)

The word Capoeira originates from the Tupi-Guarani, refers to areas of forest undergrowth from the interior of Brazil. It was suggested that the poultry has obtained the name from the local surrounding factory farms based slavery. Capoeiristas fugitives from slavery and unaware of their surroundings, often used the undergrowth to hide from the persecution of the captains of the weeds.

Other cultural expressions, such as maculelê and samba de roda, capoeira are very attached to, although they have different origins and meanings.

Today, capoeira has become not only an art or a cultural aspect, but a true export of Brazilian culture abroad. Present in dozens of countries on every continent, every year capoeira in Brazil attracts thousands of foreign students and often foreign capoeiristas strive to learn Portuguese in an effort to better engage with art. Masters and counter-respected teachers are constantly invited to give master classes abroad or even establish your own group. Presentations of capoeira, often administered in the form of spectacle, and with little acrobatic martial are conducted worldwide.

The martial aspect is still very present and, as in ancient times, is still subtle and disguised. The trickery is always present, rarely experienced capoeiristas take their eyes of their opponents in a game of capoeira, as a fall can come disguised even in a friendly gesture.

Symbol of african-Brazilian culture, a symbol of ethnic miscegenation, a symbol of resistance to oppression, capoeira has definitely changed his image and became a source of pride for Brazilians. Currently, he is considered the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Brazil.

Rock in Rio is the biggest festival of music and entertainment world.

There were more than 780 hours of broadcast music for more than 1 billion viewers in 80 countries.

With the theme For a Better World, Rock in Rio always sought the pioneering business model, aiming at a sustainable and socially responsible actions.

But more important than this direct action is the message that the festival seeks to spread: the idea of uniting all through music - we're together and our small actions on a daily basis have a major impact on the future of the planet.

As synonymous with popular culture, the Brazilian folklore is the social face and identity of a large population of Brazilians, each having its own history and their own cultural references - for he was born in a society - that constitute its identity as a person and as a member of this society: the folklore is, say, the setting, the general plot and the collection of paraphernalia of which depends on the human actor to play its vital role, elements created by the actor and not only structured and articulated his life as much to define, justify and even pre-determine, because many of them were inherited from their ancestors, color the culture where he lives and have atavistic forces with ancient roots which last lost in time and transcends geographical boundaries. Combination of ever green, live and uninterrupted, the scenarios of all actors in a given country there is the culture of this people, with all its regional and local variants, a multifaceted mosaic of expressions, ways of being and understanding the world and with it interact.

Legends and myths:

The legends are stories told by people and passed down orally through the ages. Mix with real facts and historical events which are the fruit of fantasy. The legends have sought to explain the mysterious or supernatural events.

Myths are narratives that have a strong symbolic component. Like the ancient people could not explain the phenomena of nature through scientific explanations, myths created for this purpose: making sense of things in the world. The myths also served as a way to pass knowledge and raise awareness of dangers or defects and qualities of being human. Gods, heroes and supernatural characters mingle with the facts of reality to make sense of life and the world.

Some legends, myths and folk tales from Brazil:

Boitatá

Represented by a snake of fire that protects the forests and animals and has the ability to pursue and kill those who disrespect nature. It is believed that this myth is of indigenous origin and is one of the first Brazilian folklore. There were no reports of boitatá in letters of Jesuit priest José de Anchieta, in 1560. In the Northeast, the boitatá is known as "fire run".

Curupira

Like boitatá, curupira is also a protector of forests and wildlife. Represented by a dwarf with long hair and feet turned backwards. Hunt down and kill all who disrespect nature. When someone disappears into the woods, many people believe that is the work of curupira.

Mule-headless
