The Brazilian culture is a mixture of Indian, African, and Portuguese influences. These three formed the modern Brazilian culture, as we know today. Yet, the core of the said culture is, of course, Portuguese. Being subject to colonization for almost three hundred years, Portuguese influences permeated. Catholicism In this case, we can see a taste of Portuguese influences in the aspect of religion. The majority of Brazilians are Catholic. During the colonization, aside from exploiting resources, Portugal spread religions to its colonies. Catholicism, particularly its impact, is very evident in the country’s day to day lives. The old and modern churches in Brazil are of Catholic design. Festivities and Carnivals Another influence is the festivities and carnivals. Brazilian festivals and carnivals are grand and colorful. Anyone from different parts of the world knows that carnivals in Brazil are worth seeing. The carnival in Rio De Janeiro attracts visitors and tourists year after year. The grand parade and the excitement of the people are very evident. You can see that such festivities form social bonds and connections. Food The food culture is also part of the Portuguese influences. Brazilian cuisine varies from region to region. As we all know, it is a massive country and culturally diverse. You will enjoy cuisine in a very interesting manner because of regional differences. Yet, the infamous feijoada, dated back to ancient times, is true of Brazilian origin. Music Brazilian music is a mixture of genres like bossa nova, tropicália, mangue beat, and carioca. We cannot deny that when we hear their music, we cannot help but listen more and more. It has a unique beat and rhythm that makes it so special. This musical combination formed contemporary Brazilian music. Brazil’s culture is as vibrant and colorful as its past. The African and European influences had translated to its culture and way of life today. It is being celebrated and enjoyed, and even the world today.
