Brazil, part 1: Afro-Brazilian Culture in Salvador [WORLD CITIZEN]

- Brazil is known to be one of the most sought-after travel destinations on Earth. Iconic beaches, mountains, and landmarks dot the horizon of this massive country. However, the part of Brazil that most people don't know about is the Afro-Brazilian culture brought by 500 years of colonization and slavery.
In the city of Salvador, Bahia, it has developed into its own unique subculture of Brazil's diverse ethnic landscape. Paulo Rogerio, an entrepreneur and social activist, told us about its unique cultural makeup, which can be seen in various aspects of everyday life in Salvador.
Capoeira is a style of martial art that originated in Salvador. It combines the rhythmic movements of traditional African dance with the hard-hitting reality of a serious fighting style. I joined a class to see if I could compete with the locals.
After working up an appetite, the crew went to eat at one of Salvador's critically acclaimed but little-known dining spots for an Afro-Brazilian meal reminiscent of some African-American soul food.

I traveled to Salvador de Bahia last year for a week its was wonderful. The people are warm and friendly. Very rich in afrocentric culture on all levels.
Any tips
Well why u ant stay
Great! I'll put it on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing Jeffrey.
@@roses4me451 go visit Cape Verdi island I'm from Fogo, but Praia is more beautiful, my Island only have 550,000 people.
Our ANCESTORS are Portuguese and Africans
I speak cape Verdian creole.
Yes, Salvador is likely the only city in Brasil where you will find the Angolancentric culture. Much of it is for public and tourist consumption. I`ve been living here in Brasil for 7 years and we don`t see any of the Afrocentric or Angolancentric culture in the State of Rid de Janeiro.
I’ve been to Salvador in Bahia and I didn’t want to leave. It’s a beautiful city with beautiful, friendly people!
Oh wow...I must go! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Bahia!!
may you share some details of your travel? any recommendations for people who want travel?
We could change citizenship, you come here, and I'm going in your country.
That's amazing , I'm Brazilian from Bahia 😅
Um abraço de Angola irmão do Brasil 👍🇦🇴🇧🇷🙂

Woooow. I am an African and I wish I could visit soon.
Having lived in this majestic city full of Afrocentric cultural riches, l can definitely vouch for the fact that Salvador is the most Afrocentric city in all of the Americas. Its strength lies in the fact that so much was preserved. I’ve traveled all over the U.S. and there is no location, no region like Bahia and no city like Salvador that exists on the U.S. It’s powerful and probably would be the most inspiring place for all blacks from the U.S.
go,take all ur bros and sis with you

Is it dangerous??!! Lol
I’m all for adventure but the white Brazilian racism is on FULL steroids! I would love 💕 to visit Salvador!!

As black people we need to understand that we are not all descendants of trans-Atlantic slave trade. The biggest myth that has been propagated in American culture is that all black people were brought here by Europeans-that’s a massive exaggeration of what the truth is. The warm regions of the Americas had indigenous black people living here for thousands of years before Europeans invaded and colonized us. In reality, the trans-Atlantic slave trade was responsible for roughly 900,000 West African slaves being displaced to South America, the Caribbean and to a much lesser degree North America. I’m first generation Canadian and both my parents are from British Guyana and I remember asking my grandmother about her life in Guyana [which was 80% black, 15% Indian and 5% other races] and she wanted to know where I got the idea that we were from Africa. I understand that if we go back far enough in ancient history that we are ultimately from Africa but as far as modern recorded history goes we are not all descendants of African slaves. My grandmother was born in 1912 in Guyana and she said her grandmother was a regular working woman with children. My grandfather was born in Barbados in 1909 and when he was alive he told us he came from a well-to-do family. He was more aware of his family history and he told me that there were only a few white people that had enough wealth to own servants (not slaves) and there was no real hostility towards them other than the rich/poor economic differences. There were wealthy black people in the 1800’s Caribbean, so if the African slavery epic was as extensive as we are taught to believe it was, how could there be wealthy black people as soon as slavery was abolished? Where was the massive revolt against white supremacy? Why couldn’t my grandparents on either side of my family recollect any personal stories of ancestral slavery or slave ships bringing people to the Caribbean or South America? It’s because we most of us are indigenous to the Americas and Europeans have been miseducating us with an exaggerated truth to make us believe that they have legal authority over the Americas-they do not and their entire legal system is illegal by their own legal standards. We actually have a legal right to claim sovereignty and to separate from their legal system, reclaim our indigenous rights and create a sovereign nation of people that identify as something other than the ambiguous name of blacks or African-Americans and categorize them as illegal occupants and a criminal state. These old Europeans colonies are on the verge of collapse because we are waking up to the facts that they are illegal and NEVER had any intentions to create an equal and fair society. Afrocentric places like Salvador are hints of old South American culture starting to be recognized on a broader scale.

3. All natives are not citizens of the United States; the descendants of the aborigines, and those of African origin, are not entitled to the rights of citizens. Anterior to the adoption of the constitution of the United States, each state had the right to make citizens of such persons as it pleased. That constitution does not authorize any but white persons to become citizens of the United States; and it must therefore be presumed that no one is a citizen who is not white. 1 Litt. R. 334; 10 Conn. R. 340; 1 Meigs, R. 331.

Please stop studying...I think there’s a leak
There is no proof at all that African Americans are indigenous to America, no proof at all. There are hundreds of thousands of scriptures and documents which all show that we come from Africa, which is literally common sense. People like you who spread this myth are ignorant on yourself, people, and culture, and have no common sense, you guys are equivalent to flat earthers, and would rather be anything but African.
I'm Haitian... this was interesting to watch.
Brazil don't just play soccer, they do it all.
Soccer should also be taught in universities.
This is a afro american brother that just want to give a shout out to all my Afro Brazilian black brothers and sisters out there much love and respect.✊🏿❤🖤💚
A melhor parte do Brasil, é que a gente é tudo diferente mas tudo igual muahahah.
I have spent two weeks in Salvador this August. The guides, the hotel personel were friendly and professional. I could practice my Brazilian Portuguese. I hope I will be able to return there.
Imagine being a slave master and a slave hit you with a capoeira move lol i can't wait to one day visit much love n respect from California USA 🇺🇸
I am laughing at this comment. You brightened my day!!
LOL!
capoeria? Fact Brazil has the most Top Brazilian fighters to ever hold titles in the UFC ...pure legends. But sorry Cap is not the best form of fighting. None of the Brazilian champs have ever used it in the UFC which is mixed martial arts so they could if it was affective. But beautiful art form.
@@michaelchristophergutierre7244 Elizau Zaleski Dos santos is a UFC fighter and used capoeira
@@michaelchristophergutierre7244 Ja sim, ta por fora.
americans still put generic salsa music on brazilian videos smh
🤦 .. its brazil not puerto rico
And salsa is cuban! If its puerto rico use bomba music!
Enjoyed the video, much respect on the direction you're taking is channel........
Very very very good thank you for show my city and culture colors people food capoeira to the world thank you guys
Peace from your ADOS cousins here in the US. Very nice presentation and excellent reporter. Good job you all
Just Fvckin amazing!!!!
1:44 Capoeira (CA PU Eh RA) you had one job. 🤦🏿♂️
Ca-po-ei-ra
4:52 any non pork dishes such as chicken, beef, and lamb with collard greens?
Yes and lots of beautiful fish.
Capoeira not capoeiro. Come on, man! I'm an American and even I know that!
I was thinking the same lol
a minor mistake, calm down
No problem, a little mistake ❤
Lol
More African than Africa in some sense. I go all the time from America.
Sure you do...... Sure you've traveled outside of America
Capoeira has a ancestral cousin known as 52 blocks a broken Rhythm dirty Street boxing Style that was developed during slavery in the United States and traveled to United States prisons and perfected in the street and kept alive today by afro Americans in the United States. African/Black Culture martial arts needs to be recognized✊🏿❤🖤💚
As a Brazilian, I'm aware of 52 Blocks, and as Capoeira, it is the show of the resilience and capacity of adaptation of the African people in the American continent.
Salve, irmão!
Looks like a paradise
Brazil is soooo fun to me
Capoero 😂😂😂👍🏾
that one dude be looking like joell ortiz
I have been to this vibrant city. More a state than a city, really. I'd like to say that they must have been specifically, Yoruba people because the food, the lingo mixed with Portuguese, the religion etc. Just like Cuba and some parts of Puerto Rico too. I wonder why the Yoruba culture, language and food is the most preserved of all African people that were brought to the Americas
Eu gosto de cebola.
Matheus Morante 😭😭PARABÉNS 🎉
Beautiful culture. Are other groups welcomed their to live, like Italians and spanish?
Quest Physics stay where you at
@@jaysosa2003 that's really Christian of you sir thank you😂😂
Quest Physics don’t come here
Just go and see Bahia is the best place on the planet I love Bahiaaa
Quest Physics, sometimes there's prejudice against poor immigrants, not from everyone, but from some people, especially if there are lots of them. But, in gerenral, people are welcome here in Brazil.
One of the very few times fox news did a good job.
1:41 😍
CapoeirAAAAA
Salvador is the Atlanta of Brazil
As a DC native I been to Salvador, Bahia about 15 times since 2003 and of course Atlanta. There’s NOTHING in Atlanta or DC for that fact that compares to what’s going on in Bahia… lol. Even within its social economic struggles, Salvador,Bahia is a Africentric cultural and spiritual oasis.
Lol ain't no cities in the US even close to Salvador...no cities...
I am so tired of some of these Black Americans telling Brazilians who they are. Just because you black Americans lost your African identity and culture doesn’t mean you ain’t descendants of African slaves. The Afro Brazilians know where their from and preserved most of their African culture and identity.
Well said. A mouthful of ignorance is what comes out of the mouths of woke benighted Black Americans.
You live the Afro-Brazilian culture. You know who you are. Not what some foreigner says.
Yes they(African-Americans) are all over our thread talkin' nonsense...even tho' we didn't ask anything...actually they wanna teach us about Brasilian history n how to be Brasilians...they got that much nerves...indeed
Brazil is Africa black brothers 🎉
HOTEP 💪💪💪 SOUTIEN ETERNEL
The news man can come down SOUUUFFFF (south) anytime 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I see that brother wearing a Senegalese flagged shirt. Love them Brazilian brothers!
ALL D CULTURES COAME FROM YORUBALAND IN PRESENT DAY NIGERIA. 84 PERCENT OF THEM ARE YORUBA, NOT AFRICAN. YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID THEY ARE FROM YORUBA IN NIGERIA IN AFRICA.
Are Yoruba not Africans? Lol plus they have angolan blood as well in brazil
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap!"
Yahudeans Israelites where an still everywhere a lot of our copper colored aborigine native family of America was sent there in slavery of course
@Soraya 😂😂 u left out ancient Greeks Moors Romans and olmecs

Can anyone name an african culture that is exactly like this culture this culture lines up better with Peru Cuba Haiti Peruvian and new Orleans in America and other places in this hemisphere ...
What do you name an African culture exactly like this? Black Brazil originated from several African people
@@ditocerto they are aboriginal to Brazil archeological evidence proves it ...
This particular culture is born from slavery, it was a way the African slaves fought their slaves owners, watch and listen carefully.
You will find pretty much the same culture in Angola.
Even the welcoming/joyfull character of people from both sides is the same.
Angola was a portuguese colonie and a great number of Angolans were sent as slaves to Brazil (also a former portuguese possession).
You can also find many words from tribal Angolan languages incorporated in the portuguese spoken in Brazil nowadays...
Capoeira itself has its roots in Angola...
@@guleiro prove it ?
I like Bahia but not Salvador!
In my opinion these black Brazilian have always been in Brazil long before the white man came ...
Do you have any sources you can give. I think you may be right but would love to get more data on it👍

@@arthurralstonwakeupblackpe5940: I agree, the ppl in the Americas need to wake up to the truth.
Arthur Ralston@wake up black people so you gonna ignore the slave trade?
I can introduce you to an Afro Brazilian who can give you an account of how his great great grand mother was kidnapped by Portuguese and taken to Brazil while she was able to hide his great grand mother without the Portuguese dectecting her. This account had been passed down the family.
You are not afro brazil you are native to Brazilian
Stop your native bullshit, blacks brazilian from salvador know their history, they are afro brazilian. Zumbi dos palmares One of the greatest Freedom Fighters Against Slavery came from Kongo Kingdom.

Everybody that conserved their African roots over the recent centuries know very well were they came from...
The people of bahia are part of that beautiful afro legacy.
