Spreading Cultures Globalization Home Page Americanization of Brazilian Culture Photo: Eivind Berg I wonder how my father would feel seeing his daughter politically centered, a diet coke addict, sometimes chewing Wrigley's juicy fruit gum, and living in the United States. Yara Berg from Brazil Almost all aspects of American pop culture such as McDonald's, American films, and blue jeans can be seen in Brazil. My father, who had leftist orientated ideas, used to say that all kinds of American cultural icons were distasteful. When I was a child, it was forbidden to drink coke and to chew chewing gum in my house. Both actions were representative of the American dominance to my father, Incongruently, he had an American Ford car. My father died 32 years ago, and I wonder how he would feel seeing his daughter politically centered, a diet coke addict, sometimes chewing Wrigley's juicy fruit gum, and living in the United States. He didn't live long enough to see this and the spread of American culture in the last decades. He would probably be convinced that American pop culture was swamping Brazil. I think it is difficult to curb American cultural hegemony. Many years ago, there was an attempt to reduce the number of American films in Brazil. The government imposed a law that all cinemas should show a higher percentage of Brazilian movies. However, we didn't have enough good films, or even enough films, to show. So, in spite of government subsidies, this measure failed soon after.

ARTICLES BRAZIL YEAR IN FRANCE In 1985 France began a series of Cultural Seasons ("Saisons Culturelles") which honored foreign countries with yearlong celebrations and events. This year, in the last of the series, Brazil is in the spotlight. Brazil Year in France will officially run from March to September in Paris. The main theme of Brazil Year in France is "Diversity and Modernity." Deciding on exactly how to present Brazil to the French public was not all that easy. A blue ribbon committee examined some 2,000 ideas and selected 400 of them. They were made public yesterday in a ceremony presided over by minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil. The ideas are intended to show the rich diversity of Brazilian culture. Among other things, every possible type of Brazilian music will be presented, says Mequita Andrade, one of the committee coordinators. A pavilion with 2,400 square meters is being built in the Marais neighborhood in Paris. According to minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil, the area, to be known as the "Brazil Space," will be a cultural showcase during Brazil Year in France. It will have an auditorium with 200 seats and an area where around 2,500 people, at any one time, can visit events and expositions. There will be films, dance and musical shows. Popular Brazilian stars such as Milton Nascimento, Fernanda Abreu, Marcelo D2 and Zeca Baleiro, along with many others, will make presentations. There will be something different going on almost daily and the permanent exposition will change its focus every 22 days.

Over here, the party takes place on Labor Day Weekend, when hordes of fun-loving revelers take the city’s streets for what has become one of the biggest ethnic events in town. To get the party started, the Museum of the Moving Image will present special screenings of Favela Rising , a documentary about Rio de Janeiro’s Afro-Reggae movement —-a story about a man and a movement, and the power of music to unite a community. In between screenings, Brazilian food and drinks available for purchase in the Museum’s courtyard, and live music will be provided by musicians from Astoria’s Brazilian community during the evening.

The Promotion of Brazilian Culture in the United States One of the main tasks of the cultural section of the Brazilian Embassy is to promote Brazilian culture in the United States. For this reason, the cultural section tries to organize and endorse events which reflect the richness and diversity of Brazilian culture. The Embassy has focused on accomplishing a few important projects of recognizable quality, aimed at achieving a greater impact on the American public and media. The cultural section also creates activities designed to promote the Brazilian culture among students and general public. Many schools, particularly High Schools, visit the Embassy looking for historic, artistic, social and cultural information about Brazil.

Newsletter published on May 07, 2005 Afro-Brazil Museum Reappraises Brazilian Culture by Bill Hinchberger Mário Cravo Neto Afro-Brazil Museum Reappraises Brazilian Culture: Laróyè (2000) São Paulo - A museum dedicated to a reappraisal of the history, memory, culture and identity of black Brazilians opened here in late 2004. While a public institution, the Museu Afro Brasil owes its existence in large part to a private individual: artist, collector, curator and administrator Emanoel Araújo. The former head of the Pinacoteca do Estado, another public institution that he built into one of Brazil’s most successful exhibition spaces, Araújo served as curator and coordinator of the new museum during the institution’s inaugural period. “This is a museum that avoids the old stereotypes,” said Araújo, who took over as director of the museum after a brief stint as municipal secretary of culture in early 2005. “We’re thinking about the diaspora, thinking about the black as an actor.” Rather than serving as an anthropological or ethnological museum, the institution intends to work with the creators of contemporary black culture from art to dance to music. Most of the objects on display come from Araújo’s personal collection of 5,000 artworks and artifacts – over 1,000 of which have been placed on permanent loan to kick-start the museum’s collection. Araújo accumulated most of those objects during the last 15 years as he curated a series of exhibitions about Brazilian black art and culture. Items in the permanent exhibition range from slavery artifacts to rural Carnaval costumes to contemporary sculptures by Mestre Didi.

BRAZIL! CULTURE Brazil is a beautiful country with so much to offer! We know about the coffee and bikinis, but there's more. The culture of Brazil is colorful and quite different from that of the United States. Brazil’s diverse population includes Indian, African, Japanese, Portuguese, and other European inhabitants. In fact, the largest Japanese population outside of Japan resides in Sao Paulo (over one million). This ethnic melting pot speaks a unique Portuguese language with Indian and African influences. RELIGION Almost 90% of the population is Roman Catholic, making Brazil the largest country of that denomination in the world. Other religions in Brazil include Protestant, Buddhism, Islam, and others. Interestingly, there are a few African cults present in Brazil that combine Christianity with African beliefs. These are Candomble, Macumba, and Umbanda. RECREATION Arguably crazie r than Mardi Gras, Carnaval is a party that has people drinking and in dulging for days.

Gilberto Gil "Contemporary Brazilian Culture" February 17, 2005 Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil speaks at Berkeley on February 17. Webcast of the event Building a Creative Utopia in Brazil By Tiffany Linton Page Gil insisted that art can be a mobilizing force that changes society by changing perspectives, moods and visions. However, he said that forcing art to serve specific political ends is not effective. Instead, the government should support communities so that art flourishes throughout the country. That, in and of itself, contributes to the cultural development of the country, he argued. Tiffany Linton Page is a graduate student in the Department of Sociology. Minister Gil on campus.

33. Learn About Brazilian Culture In Salvador, Bahia, Brazil Learn about brazilian culture, music, dance, food, and Candomble in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. http://www.basicalingua.com/culture.htm

Culture in Salvador, Brazil. Salvador is the capital of Bahia, the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture, home of such Brazilian musical groups as Olodum and Ilê Aiyê and the birthplace of Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, among many other artists. Salvador has the largest street carnival in Brazil. Large sound trucks ("Trio Elétrico") playing Axé and pagode (two Brazilian styles of music) proceed through the streets, each followed by a huge number of people dancing and partying from mid-afternoon late into the night. The second biggest festival in Brazil is Sao Joao (Saint John) and takes place in the middle of June. It's very popular in the North-East and the rhythm of Sao Joao is FORRO. Forro is a catchy, "hick" dance music that is played everywhere during the winter months. Traditionally, it features a drum, accordion and triangle, but also has modern influences, such as the electric guitar. Forro events, such as clubs and concerts always have live forro music. This helps to create the atmosphere, but really it is the attitude of the Brazilian people that makes going to a forro so much fun. Everyone is busy chatting, flirting, dancing and drinking persimmon liquor, the popular drink of Sao Joao. Capoeira is a martial art that was created by african slaves, about 400 years ago. Everything starts with the berimbau (the traditional instrument used in Capoeira). It ditates the speed and type of movements. There are two kinds of Capoeira, Capoeira Regional and Capoeira Angola. Capoeira Angola is the oldest form of Capoeira and as such is a slower, more earthy game. It developes mental balance, and combines self defense, music and a profound sense of art all at once. Capoeira Angola is a social event filled with tradition and history. Capoeira Regional is the newest form of Capoeira, and is faster and more acrobatic.

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Brazilian Culture Through Music by Judith Dixon Contents of Curriculum Unit 00.05.03: Narrative Introduction Teacher’s Bibliography Teacher’s And Student’s Bibliography ... To Guide Entry Introduction Music is a universal language. It crosses cultural and ethnic backgrounds. People relate to music through expressive and receptive communication. Music is the heart of Brazil. From a simple family gathering to carnaval. Music is the foundation for many of their festivities. In many religious ceremonies the music is one of the main focal points. Brazilian music as well as music in general is soothing, healing, inspiring, and energizing. Music influences Brazilian life a great deal. We will investigate the history of music in Brazil as well as making discoveries of the different sounds and styles of music. We’ll learn about cultural events and how the music is depicted culturally. In collaboration with team members we will investigate a variety of experiments to incorporate the science of sound for a science fair project. Utilizing our music teacher instruments will be made and students taught how to play them. Before each section is introduced the students will know what will be covered in the lesson. Information should be posted on blackboard or poster board. An oral discussion of information is shared by teacher. Questions asked orally (inferential) and in written form. Quizzes and tests will be teacher made. The types of tests will be objective, matching or multiple choice.
