CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS IN BRAZIL:

Brazil is one of the countries designated as one of the most fun in the world,
indeed, it is. If we stop to think about the customs and traditions of Brazil,
we immediately think of everything that has to do with dance, music, carnival
and sports. That is why we present some of the most representative Brazilian
customs: (Kenia)
FOOTBALL:

Yes, music, dance and parties are extremely important in Brazil, but if there is
something that can be considered almost as important, it is football. It is
often said that Brazilian children, before learning anything else, must first
learn to dance samba, and second, to dance samba on a soccer field, with a
ball. It is really a tradition and custom, coincidentally it is the country that
has won the world champion the most times. (Blanca)

RELIGION:

Religion also occupies a very important place in the lives of Brazilians and one
of the most popular religious monuments in the world is found in Brazil: the
image of Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado. It is a predominantly 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. See the details of
the fusion of African and Catholic religious doctrines, this being a unique
phenomenon in the world.(Diana)

Typical food:

Feijoada is a stew considered the national dish of the Rio area of Brazil. It has
a large number of ingredients that make it a very delicious dish. It is
prepared with black beans, various meats, sausages and some vegetables. It
is accompanied with white rice and orange or lemon segments. It is also
common to serve it with finely chopped cabbage, sautéed in garlic and oil.

DANCES, FESTIVALS AND CARNIVAL:

1. Rio de Janeiro Carnival: Brazilians also have one of the most intense,
colorful and popular carnival parties in the world, the famous Rio de
Janeiro Carnival. Carnival is a celebration that is experienced as a
national holiday, in which everyone dances to the rhythm of the Samba
groups, from the smallest to the largest. It takes place during about 40
days of Easter, 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 and dancers.
(Karen)
2. Samba: It is a strong rhythm, all kinds of percussion instruments are
used and it becomes really 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.(Paola)
