Are you guys going to be around for São João festival (festa junina) it’s right around the corner and northeast Brazil is the place to be at for it. Festa Junina is a harvest festival and second party in Brazil losing only to carnaval that you guys already covered. Good showing guys!

[@TheYarbros]

@@RandomNPC001 Hopefully we'll be here. We have some business to handle in another country soon.

Congratulations on choosing to explore the mesmerising wonders of Northeast Brazil! It's truly a remarkable destination for any person of colour seeking tranquilly and harmony in this beautiful country. While I acknowledge that every region in Brazil has its own unique charm, the Northeast stands out for its vibrant culture and rich heritage, boasting the highest population of black individuals in the entire nation. So, for those yearning for an authentic experience and a deeper connection to Brazil's Afro-Brazilian roots, the Northeast is an ideal place to be. Rest assured, both the South and Northeast have their own distinctive allure, but the Northeast's cultural diversity and strong Afro-Brazilian presence make it an absolute must-visit. During my time in Porto Alegre, located in the southern region of Brazil, I had a challenging time locating African products such as makasera (cassava) and yam, which are plentiful in Pernambuco. As a Fulani person originating from West Africa, my cultural palate has a deep appreciation for couscous, and I must say that Pernambuco offers the most extraordinary cuscuz de milho (corn couscous) in the world. The remarkable abundance and quality of these traditional ingredients and dishes in Pernambuco truly make it a culinary paradise for individuals like myself who have a profound fondness for African flavours and traditions. I miss my bairro, Engenho do Meio, in Recife

[@TheYarbros]

Yes, we're having a wonderful time exploring Brasil!

[@juliana_cipri]

Pessoas de cor? 🤔

[@fatimazahrah3995]

Hi! I’m a Fulani from Guinea and I’m currently staying in Recife for the summer. Really lucky that I got the opportunity to come here to the northeast. I’ve been loving the food here as well, very similar to what I eat at home

Unfortunately there are no direct flights to the Brazilian northeast. Great beaches and food, and a lot cheaper than the Caribbean resorts.

Isso sim representa o verdadeiro Brasil! e não o carnaval que é uma cultura internacional. Abraços desde Recife ✌🏼

[@italo8995]

Olinda and Recife were the main entrance of colonizers and african people in northeast of Brazil during the beginning of colonization. If a person is a black or portuguese descendant in northeast of Brazil, there is a high probability their ancestors had once been in Pernambuco's coastal area.

[@japeri171]

First of all,April's new hairstyle is gorgeous. Olinda is a wonderful city.Frevo is a contagious rhythm. I hope next time you go to a church that allows you to ring the bell hahaha

[@juliosilveira7891]

Viva! Loved that you went to Olinda. (Didn't love that much the Bolsonaro 👺giant doll). That part the painter was trying to explain, about the Rosary Church, is interesting. Back in the. days, everyone belonged to a church (that's why there are so many of them). One would belong to a certain church according to social status, profession etc. Throughout the Portuguese speaking world there is always a Lady of the Rosary church, which was the Black people's church. There were free black men and women, who joined in a brotherhood, and usually would chip in to buy emancipation to enslaved men. In these churches there would always be altars to black saints, such as Saint Benedict and Saint Kaleb of Axum (Elesbão). There was a considerable amount of free black men in the 17th and the 18th century. One of them was Henrique Dias who, along with native Brazilian Felipe Camarão and Portuguese Vidal de Negreiros, is considered a national hero for expelling the Dutch (sort of).

[@TheYarbros]

Yes, we bought his painting of the black church and learned a lot from him. We went back to get an interview with him afterwards to share with our channel. Really interesting stuff.

De Recife para Olinda. é um pulo, muito rápido de carro ( taxi, uber ou carro alugado). É possível hospedar-se em Recife e partir para os passeiem Olinda. Só tenha cuidado com os horários de pico. Vale à pena explorar o sítio histórico. Em Olinda uma boa praia é Casa Caiada. Se um dia for a Olinda reserve um dia , e programe-se para almoçar num dos restaurantes locais.

Love this i'm from Olinda and my mom is from Bahia, love Your Vision of Brasil

[@marcellaabreu]

Come to São Luís - MA in June so you can see our São João. We have bumba-meu-boi, tambor de crioula, cacuriá; a lot of typical food; also historical buildings; and from here you can go to Lençóis Maranhenses the biggest oasis on earth, same size of São Paulo city. If you have the opportunity you can also go by airplane for Imperatriz - MA and from there rent a car to visit the Chapada das Mesas (you can also rent a car and go from here in são Luís to there, but it's a big and hard road trip, and probably no one will be able to talk to you in english while you on the road

[@marcellaabreu]

We're also called Jamaica Brasileira (Brazilian Jamaica) cuz we love reggae and we dance reggae together with a partner. We also considered a terra do tambor or terra da macumba (the land of macumba) cuz we have lots of terreiros of african matrix religions. If you had the opportunity to watch The Woman King starring Viola Davis you could see in the story they mention that the Queen Agontimé mother of the King Guezo was captured and sold into slavery and they trying to find her here in Brazil. It turns out that Queen Agontimé was brought to São Luís - MA and here she continued to practice there religion and founded the Casa das Minas where only black women were religious leaders cuz there culture 'gege nagô' were matriarchal

Okay! Thank you for sharing!

A curious fact about the afrobralizilian history in Pernambuco is that here in century XVII existed a African Kingdom. It was known as "quilombo dos palmares" and during 100 years. It is the mean symbol of afrobrazilian resistance.

As you said, during the Dutch period there was religious freedom. Many Jews came from Europe to Pernambuco, mainly the Portuguese and Spanish persecuted by the Inquisition. But when the Portuguese regained power, the Jews had to flee, and a large group fled to "New Amsterdam", now New York. When you go to Fifth Avenue, look at the sign at the entrance to the synagogue, it's written in Portuguese.

[@TheYarbros]
