Title: Brazil: Life, Blood, Soul
Description: ‘In Brazil the motto seems to be: if you’ve got it, flaunt it, and if you don’t, flaunt it even more …’ Brazil: an eclectic nation that evokes images of vibrant carnivals, crowded shanty towns and football on the beach. Shaped by its many cultures, the Portuguese, African, Native Indian and European communities have ensured the evolution of a colourful, diverse population.John Malathronas fell prey to Brazil’s seductive allure in the early eighties, a fascination that continues to this day. His odyssey through the adrenaline-fuelled, chaotic city bars, the extravagant and exotic Carnaval, the lush vegetation of the Amazon rainforest and the destitute shanty towns reveals the throbbing heartbeat of this remarkable country.
