Afro-Brazilians
Brazilians of African origin, As in the United States, their arrival can be traced back to the slave trade of the mid-1500s. It is estimated that nearly 4 million slaves were shipped to Brazil from Africa. This is higher than the estimated 600,000 slaves that were transported to the United States.

Dear sir, I enjoyed a lot your video. You settled a very precise view of afro brazilian culture. Let me only make a small repair in your speech. Capoeira is not a dance at all. Capoeira is a very effective and beautiful martial art ( see the famous UFC fighter Connor MacGregor video about it ). The ginga, that looks like a dance, actually is a fight stand, very unique because is not a still stand, and that is what makes capoeira so unpredicteble. By the way, I,m a white brazilian from Rio de Janeiro, now living in Brasília, and I have been practicing this beautiful art for almost fifty years, and I have a first degree master of capoeira ( red belt or red rope like we usually say).
Another thing, you cannot pronouce "capeeara like you did. The correct pronoucing is "capowaera.
I hope you continue practicing our beautiful martial art.
My best regards.

afro Brazilian are more than 50 present of the Brazilian population.
Thank you for making these videos. I love the jazz music in the background
Very thorough video
God bless Afro-Brazilians for keeping your Yoruba cultures in spite of slavery and not hating your African ancestry like some other diaspora blacks have chosen to do.
Black people are the majority in Brazil. Outside of Africa it has the largest black population. Black people are 51% of Brazil.
How was the situation of the Afro-Brazilians and their rights during the regime of Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff (heard something about Bolsa Familia and the law about femicides but nothing really about the Afro-Brazilians)? Was there any improvement? What about now that during the regime of Michel Temer (that many see as a coup; and it is a bit dubious as the guy who impeached Rousseff was jailed…)? Is the situation improving, worsening or does it remain more or less the same? Has there been any president in Brazil's history who has fought for the cause of the Afro-Brazilians?
Good video!
in my country the Congo we got a meal like feijoada "madesu"
Good book on related topic–"Quilombo dos Palmares: Brazil's Lost Nation of Fugitive Slaves." See NLLibrarium.com
7:31 Bingo! And white supremacy rears its ugly head! Brazil is the second most populated country in the world of African descent people (this includes the mixed Afro-Brazilians), Nigeria is the most populated. There are major disparities in education, economic status and government.
Racism y in Brazil is not subtle it's bold and in your face this is the arrogance of the white minority .
