African Brazilian Culture

African Brazilian culture is a vibrant blend of African traditions with Brazilian influences, mainly resulting from the African diaspora brought by enslaved people. It is reflected in music, dance (like samba and capoeira), religious practices (such as Candomblé and Umbanda), cuisine, and language. These elements preserve African history, spirituality, and artistic expression within Brazil’s diverse society, highlighting resilience and cultural richness. This fusion shapes Brazil’s identity, fostering a unique heritage that celebrates African roots while integrating into broader Brazilian culture.
