    Extractions: Fryer, Peter The first definitive history of the full range of African contributions to Brazilian music. African rhythms are at the heart of contemporary black Brazilian music. Surveying a musical legacy that encompasses over 400 years, Peter Fryer traces the development of this rich cultural heritage. He describes how slaves, mariners, and merchants brought African music from Angola and the ports of east Africa to Latin America. In particular, they brought it to Brazil today the country with the largest black population of any outside Africa. Fryer examines how the rhythms and beats of Africa were combined with European popular music to create a unique sound and dance tradition. He focuses on the political nature of this musical crossover and the role of African heritage in the cultural identity of black Brazilians today. The result is an absorbing account of a theme in global music that is rich in fascinating historical detail.

    Extractions: According to his descendants, Pedro belonged to the Cabinda nation. Back then, the slaves in the region were mostly of Bantu origin, sent to Brazil from the slave trade ports on the coasts of Angola and the Congo, or via Mozambique. The grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-greatgrandchildren of Pedro and Militana now form the São José da Serra community, a group that perpetuates the intangible heritage of its ancestors. Nearly 80 people live in some 15 clay and straw houses, with roofs made from plant materials and mud floors. There is also a small chapel in the fazenda, and since 1970 a public school. Because researchers, journalists and jongo fans from the big cities have “discovered” São José da Serra, it recently got electricity.

These were organized in Denver, Colorado and co-sponsored with a variety of local educational, cultural and religious groups. The following are descriptions of recent gatherings. In collaboration with the Simpson United Methodist Church and the Tri-State Buddhist Fellowship, we organized a two-day symposium on Spirituality in the Japanese American Internment. On the first day of the symposium, held at the Buddhist temple in downtown Denver, older Japanese-Americans who had been imprisoned in the camps during World War II talked about their experiences and the religious and cultural resources they drew on to help themselves survive. The events of the second day, at the Methodist church, featured younger people children and grandchildren of those who had been interned who interpreted the meaning of the camps through the lens of their own experience, artistry and convictions. International Exchanges Since 1997, in addition to US-based veterans, we have interviewed several international peace and justice activists from Guatemala, Thailand, Brazil, South Africa, and Mexico. In several instances our international veterans have spent extended amounts of time with us usually between two and five weeks and have presented their work, their stories and their visions to audiences as varied as middle school children, interfaith dialogue groups, and conference participants. Additionally, we have been able to sponsor and/or coordinate international exchanges to Brazil and to West Africa.

The University is responsible for identifying housing and cultural activities directly related to the object of study and will assist us throughout the entire process.

    Extractions: Standards Overview Initially, I wanted to create a unit that would give my students a global perspective on popular culture. Several weeks into the class on Latin American Popular culture I realized how much of an influence United States popular culture has on Latin America popular culture. Creating a curriculum that would focus on the African influence on popular culture in the United States and in Latin America seemed to be an interesting prospect. Teen interest is always focused on popular culture. Taking that interest and using it as a motivation for an in depth study of the African influence on Latin American popular culture, specifically in Brazil, seemed to be a project that would have great success. When teaching English, I hope to bring to my students a new understanding of the African influence on Brazilian popular culture. The African influence is evident in the plethora of genres of popular culture in Brazil.

It's free! Save it. Afro-(Latin)-American religions are amongst the most rapidly developing in the Americas. However, relatively few articles about them appear in North American scholarly journals in the field of the sociology of religion, probably because these religions have been strongly racialized and considered the property of racial or ethnic minorities. As well, studies about them are seen as falling more within the domain of anthropology rather than of sociology. While this position may have been true in the first half of the twentieth century, it has certainly lost credibility in the past two or three decades, as these religions have spread beyond their original boundaries of race, class, and, increasingly, nation, to attract an economically, ethnically and nationally diverse constituency.

    http://members.aol.com/porchfour/religion/african.htm
    
    Extractions: African and African-Derivative Religions are a large group of beliefs and practices based upon ancient indigenous faiths of sub-Saharan African peoples. Within the last 100 years in Africa (see Table of Statistics ) indigenous religion has declined under the influence of colonialism, Western acculturation and proselytizing by Islam and Christianity. In the African Diaspora (mainly in the Americas) African-derived belief systems are in a state of impressive growth. ithin just the last two years the amount of information made available through the Internet is also impressive. Some of the best information comes to us from Italy, Sweden and Brazil. We are no longer dependent upon reports from academia or encyclopedias. There are now numerous websites maintained by the faithful themselves and, while the quality and quantity of information varies enormously among them, one may now hear from practitioners their own statements of faith. In many, if not most, cases African spirituality has evolved in the Americas. Ancient practices brought westward by slaves became syncretized, more or less, with religious traditions of the slaves' masters. This syncretization is most noticeable in areas dominated by the Catholic faith and where the celebration of saints, votive offerings and other practices found parallels in ancient traditions.

Macumba originated with African slaves shipped to Brazil in the 1550's, who continued to worship their African Gods. Their Gods are called ORIXAS . The slaves incorporated their religion into Brazilian culture and religion (Roman Catholic). They summoned their Gods with their drums. Brazilian slave owners, unlike owners in the United States, allowed slaves to continue to use their drums. Thus began the rhythm of the saints, the samba, and it explains why Brazilian " batucadas " reign unequaled today. Brazil got the samba , and the U.S. got "

If your destiny is Brazil, here are a few tidbits of information that will help make your stay an enjoyable one: About the history: Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese but also received a large group of immigrants from other countries, mostly from Germany, Holland, France, Spain and Japan in addition to Africans who arrived as slaves. Thus, the Brazilian culture is a rich blend of many ways of living reflected in its food, clothes, religions, literature, and food. There’s little racial and ethnic segregation in Brazil and you’ll enjoy your time there better if you go in with an open mind. About the geography: If you’re going there, you already know Brazil is in South America. Brazil is also larger than the continental United States and its northern region is crossed by the equator, which means it’s very hot all the time. Eastern Brazil is on the Atlantic and boasts of beautiful beaches you can sunbathe on year-round. About religion: While most Brazilians will tell you they are Catholic, a lot of them also practice the African religions without any conflict, as spiritualism created deep roots in Brazil centuries ago when African slaves maintained their culture alive by continuing to practice the same religious rituals of their homeland.
