  • I apologize for the typos, typing from my phone lol

  • I have never been to Brazil, however I am Guyanese American. my whole family is from Guyana, directly above Brazil and we now live in NY. I am doing my graduate study on the cultural patterns of members in the African Diaspora. I think it is a bit of a blanket statement to say that black people in any country outside of Africa are full black. we have post-colonialism to thank for the array of complexions and features in most Islandic, Latin American or North American countries. Still, Brazil ha

  • on thing is for sure, BAHIA is a vibrant state.

  • Bahia is only in the eyes of foreigners (Gringoes) a black state because in their country, they are being taught that it is without questioning or doing their own research. Fact is Bahia (like other north eastern states) have many black/dark skin people, but professors who knows how to research their true DNA have proven that majority aren't full black at all. Majority are blacks mix from European (Dutch, French, Portuguese, British and Irish) and Natives roots. Minority are full black.

  • @brazilvideoinfo most blacks in the west are mixed but they are still called "black" for some reason.

  • @ImGonnaKillYou2nd that's not the point of they are still called black if they are black. black is black, but to understand the how complex it is you should know their background. 

  • @ImGonnaKillYou2nd In the west of Brazil, there aren't many blacks. though black is black, because black they call negro or preto there, what's normal. Facts are Majority of them in the west are white, second mulatos (black mix with white), third Amerindian (Amazon indians), minority cafuzos (black mix with amerindian), blacks and asian (japanese, chinese and from india)

  • Hopefully one day we can both have the living experience of both countries so we can exchange more iideas! It's one of my dreams to live in Cuba for a while!

  • great stuff

    

  • O lançamento da Bahia! /watch?v=IKKKgRCOB_Y

  • @javierre88 gosta do brasil? lol

  • @Tindecs siiiiiiiiii gosta muito todo Brasil

  • Bahêaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Bahêaaaaaa Minha vida, Bahêaaaa Meu orgulho... Bahêa meu amorrrrr!!!

    Umbora Bahêa minha porra!

  • @Bibi1142 Comentario Perjorativo. Voce foi infeiz com o seu comentario...

  • Aqui é o Brasil, parem de discutir raça, aqui isso não vira, somos mutiraciais. Vamos curtir o olodun pora

  • Olodum para abertura da COPA 2014!!!

  • você quer a cultura do Brasil-los ir para Salvador Bahia é bonito ser negro

  • você quer a cultura do Brasil-los ir para Salvador Bahia é bonito ser negro

  • você quer a cultura do Brasil-los ir para Salvador Bahia é bonito ser negro

  • Bahia is a Blacktown of brazil

  • @Gustavodox Bahia is a black state, not town. same as Alagoas and Maranhão

  • @nigerianlove12 hahahahaha "black state" whatta foreign thing to say!

  • @tatianasevero lol then what is it, the northeast is majority mulatto and black. Like São Paulo is a white state.

  • @nigerianlove12 well I'm a mixed Brazilian who was born n raised in the Northeast whose got family from everywhere in the country and even though Bahia has a lot of dark skin ppl (mixed black, native indian and white) I never heard ppl descrbing it that way, aside from foreigners who seem to have a hard time grasping Brazilian culture. Rio has very strong black roots also... It's about a certain misidentity "feeling" and that's hard to explain. Die and ressurect as a Brazilian to get it! LOL

  • @tatianasevero being brasilian has nothing to do with it. Im Cuban and there are states in Cuba that a majority black/mulatto, one doesnt have to be cuban or in your case brasilian to see whats obvious.

  • @nigerianlove12 What I'm saying is that no one who knows Bahia well would ever describe it as a black state as It goes way beyond that. And even though we are both latinos, you can"t compare both countries at all. Brazil historically speaking has always been 'the odd one out' for its size, diversity, culture, language and values, not only in Latin America but worldwide. I can't talk about Cuba's black states as I have not been there yet and whatever I've read or may read won't ever suffice.

  • Responder a este vídeo... What's more obvious to me here is the mix. Differently from countries like the US, France or UK people from different races blend in. We are not scared of describing anyone as black, japanese or whatever. But there is no actual "barrio", "gueto" etc based on race. We all carry the same sense of misidentity when it comes to racial background. There's no diff dress code, behavior, language, set of values or location that could demonstrate that.

  • O Brasil não está no Mundo, o Mundo está no Brasil !!

    Amo ser Brasileiro !!

  • I am thinking of coming to Brazil for the first time and to stay in Salvador. Can someone tell me if I will be to travel alone there?

    Thanks

  • @MrDampkring What exactly was your question? If it's safe to travel alone here in Salvador?

  • @scnorcali11 Yes Salvador, but I was also looking at Rio. Not sure where to go for a 1st timer. I am interested in the garotas de programma. :-) Are the prices lower in Salvador?

  • vc é ditador é? cadê a democracia?

    como diz o poeta da musica, Edsom Gomes, democracia vem libertar esse povo Brasileiro, Democracia vem libertar, vem liberar!!

  • To the people who are trying to deny that white Brazilians are racist toward their black countrymen and that racism results in discrimination by race thats deeply rooted in their institutions and culture. In fact black Brazialians are at least a century behind black Americans, and a great part of their problem is denial by white Brazillians of their anti-black racism! And that's the long and the short of it!

  • @TheViewFromSugarHill The white Brazilians are at least a century behind white americans too.

  • @TheViewFromSugarHill Blacks in USA is only 10% and in Brazil is 50%. That´s why they didn´t keep their culture there.

  • ai, minha terra... que saudade desse barulhinho bom !

    É massa !

  • do you know paloma gomes and her song canta bahia? i love this music :)

  • Who are the ugly readhead fat stupid tourists?

  • @fifthworld thats english people man!haha

  • @Piguito, @JusticeNature: part 5

    ...because he doesn't have a decent white-collar worker career.

    That's what this brilliant music video has to do with the economic situation of the Afro-Brasilians. Enjoy your system, Brit, but let us enjoy our music. Olodum ROCKS!!!

  • @OlodumRocks Yeah, just let the blacks dance and sing and send them

    back to the slums where they belong with no education or opportunities. Why should we discuss something as meaningless as racism when we could just shake our ass.

  • BAÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊA!!!!!!

  • Many afroamericans are travelling to Bahia, (especially Salvador and Cachoeira) to meet with their roots, because african culture has been better preserved here than in Africa, where it has evolved and changed. There is an institute or organization in the US that organizes those travels. Maybe the ones is interested should contact the American Brasilian Institute in Salvador: ACBEUBAHIA or the consulate.

  • @cardona89 .... thats a bit of a gross generalisation but yes I see your point

  • sir wallaby. why find the ancestery? they brazilian now so what it matter, like the man says,, there all one. stop tryin to divide.

  • Im not trying to divide...i was refering to obama knowing his ancestors in his case it was only one generation...you can be chinese if thats going to make you happy but you cant label other people the wrong affiliations.

  • what about his white ancestors, should he know them?

  • Aguante Olodum allá y La Chilinga acá!

  • Essas sao as criancas que o projeto conseguiu salvar....Agora so passandu alguns dias no pelô para se ver qtas nao foram salvas....e como doi ver estrangeiros gastando seus preciosos euros e bons lugares e criancas pequenas criancas implorando dinherio para comprar crack e no dia seguinte vee as mesmas caidas nas portas dos hostel do pelÔ

  • If you are a fan of Salvador and brazilian music, check ou Paloma Gomes and her amazing song Canta Bahia :)

  • a bahia e linda mermooOoOo

    amOoo

  • Nice im planning to travel to brazil next year for few months and want to go salvador,it looks nice im east african and travelled to over 80 countries so far except south america and some of these people look alike so i might just blend in as a local till maybe someone talks to me hehehe,when does these festivals on so ill see if i can time it to be there.

  • it is on february!! it is carnival. however, you have to buy ticktes, hotel reservation now. you will love.

  • Thank you for the info :)

  • i get the same thing in the spanish speaking countries, i have dark hair and tan well so i blend in really well until i talk too, i want to travel to africa, you have any good recommendations?

  • Sfrica is very nice i recommend Tanzania,Kenya,mozambique all those eastern coast countries...Mali and morroco in the west....Egypt as well is nice if you like sight seeing....but it all depends what you want relaxing or sightseeing or adventure or culture exploring..africa is big and offer all that it all depends on how much time you have.

  • Yeah, Did you know Brazil is home the largest country with African ancestry? Half of the country is Mulatto or Black. More then the U.S.

  • Wow half?are you serious?thats like 70 million people...i cant wait to go there now.

  • Yes, because 95% of the slaves went to Latin America and Caribbeans, only 5% went to North America.

    38% of all the slaves going to Latin America went to Brazil!

    But just like in the United States Black people have a small percentage of European/ and or Amerindian ancestry. Just look at Obama.

  • I see thanks for the info..by the way obama is a kenyan american his father was born in africa which makes him african from the nilo luo tribe in east africa.If you know where your origin from then be proud to say you are from such an african country then add your adopted country show pride where you from..if you are african brazilian i suggest you track back your roots and use it maybe senegal afro brazilian or liberian afro brazilian.

  • @sirwallaby

    Here in Brazil we don't like to make that kind of distintction, after all we are all the same, all human beings although with different backgrounds. Maybe you can write that difference in your birth certificate, nothing else, why is it necessary? Here in Brazil, all people are wlecome, we don't discriminate any group, we like every kind of human being, come check it out for yourself !

  • Must also remember that there is severe economic discrimination in Brazil. I never saw any Afro Brazillians at the international or local airport or restaurents in Brazil (SP & Rio) (only cleaners & waiting staff). There is a huge, unbelievable economic divide in Brazil. As a general rule of thumb, the darker you are the poorer you are. When I try to discuss this with the middle classes they get very defensive.

  • @JusticeNature

    the same applies in most westerns countries, including UK, possibly not as worse as here in Brazil.

    But your understanding is seemingly based on a particular region, therefore not entirely on the nation as whole. Where have you been here in Brazil?

  • @ duduvissotto I agree there is discrimination in most Western countries but that was not really the point. I was trying to focus on the level of discrimination and that fact that it is way higher in Brazil than anywhere else I'm aware (in terms of economic disparities) For instance in the UK it is not uncommon to find British ethnic minorities in the medical, legal, senior business and politics etc.

    I understand Brazil is a massive country and i've only visted SP, rio & santos (

  • @JusticeNature

    It certainly makes sense what you are saying, sorry for the misunderstanding.

    You actually do see minorities in the medical, judicial and political fields here, although not as significant as in developed countries.

    As a white person, with European (German and Italian) descent, I guess I can say that unfortunately that's a demographic fact here but this sort of figure has altered a lot over the last twenty years and hopefully it will continue following this direction/path.

  • What has all this to do with this music video?

  • do a search for "Race and Racism in Latin America: Brazil - 25 Jul 08 " on youtube...an interesting 2 min video

  • Comment removed

  • @JusticeNature I usually read political news from many countries, including several European states, UK, Germany, France and Russia.

    I don't really recall many British politicians with "African", arabic or any other minority descent, certainly no Prime Minister at the House of Commons. I know this ethinic disparity is more evident in Brazil and most emerging nations but it's a widespread one, it only varies in degree.

  • I agree that ethnic minorities are underrepresented in the British political system (the stats are 7.88% of the population are ethnic minorities & 2.32% in parliament are ethnic minorities). But, this is not the discussion. 'Ethnic disparity' is more evident in Brazil than most countries. I agree with you.I'm not trying to divide or cause uncomfort, I'm simply saying there is a massive problem with equal opportunities in Brazil that needs to be addressed.

  • I understand and agree with your standpoints.

    I was not trying to diverge the discussion, I was simply pointing out MY viewpoint, since you highlighted yours.

    I hope this ethnic disparity improves not only in Brazil but also in every country.

  • @duduvissotto  Agreed !

  • Brazil IS NOT a Black country 'JusticeNature!!!!

  • your point ??

  • Do you have NO answers? You seem to be ok in making spurious comments but not good in answering them. Just because you are an unhappy ethnic minority in the Uk, stop bringing your miserable, race obsessed politics to Brazil!

  • If you ask me a question I'll try an answer it. I'm not sure what has hit your nerve. It was a few weeks ago but I was just commenting on the injustices in Brazil...there is no rule in youtube to just discuss exactly what is in the video.... so take your prozac and say a few prayers, may help.

  • Are you English?

  • @Piguito Yes, I am.

  • @duduvissotto so why Black die 6 tiem more than whites?

  • why cos black people are there? where you from, the u.s.? suffering an identity crisis?

  • Yeah, Did you know Brazil is home the largest country with African ancestry? Half of the country is Mulatto or Black. More then the U.S.

  • salve batuque olodum.Un saludo desde los carnavales de Tenerife en las Islas Canarias

  • RELAXA BROTHER E SCUTA O SOM!

  • Quando chegei em Salvador, fiz questão de comer Acarajé com pimenta, pois Acarajé sem pimenta, naum é Acarajé.

    Visitei o Pelô, o Farol da Barra, o elevador, e tambem visitei outras cidades ao redor de Salvador (que não me lembro os nomes).

    E quer saber?

    Se Salvador fede? fede não, é vc que fede

    Então meu amigo, não venha me dizer que a cidade fede, que os restaurantes são ruins, pois é mentira.

    E prostituição existe ao redor do país, não só na Bahia.

    SALVE, SALVE SALVADOR, TERRA D ALEGRIA!

  • Bahia.

    Ô terra linda. Me encantei com esse estado desde que cheguei lá.

    Uma terra cheia de alegria, uma terra com muitas riquezas.

    Eu sou cearense, mas tambem queria ter nascido em Salvador.

  • Não existe pobreza nem luxo na Bahia, existe oportunidade e cultura.

    Se você nunca teve algo do tipo, ou seu luxo tá acima de sua ética e moralidade, então fica ae mermo no seu estadozinho de merda que a gente tá muito bem aqui.

    Há turistas com cidades muito mais ricas que as suas e não se importam com isso. Tem que ser muito arrogante mermo pra dizer uma coisa dessas.

    Eu sou Baiano. E você, quem é?

  • Eu sou Americano visitando salvador e estou ospedado agora em Sao Caitano. Eu chegei aqui em Dezembro e ja fui pra Pelourinho, Rebeira, Barra, Adembeppi e varios lugaris. Eu gosto muito de Brazil, e uns de pessoas aqui não tem muito dinheiro, mas tem vidas ricas! Eu vou volta para os Estados Unidos esse mez e ja estou com saudades de Brazil.

    peace brother!

  • quem se dar ao direito de comentar sobre culturas alheias, possivelmente ignora os habitos de sua cultura.

    não existe cultura perfeita, e sim uma profusão de ideias e desenvolvimentos.

    a historia esta repleta desses exemplos

  • This is the hapiness land. Coming on know it.

  • i'm cicinho... i love bahia and pelorinho...and morro... hallo...

  • Do Oiapoque ao Chuí é BRASIL e a diversidade de cultura faz a beleza. VIVA A BAHIA!!!

  • Estuve en noviembre de 2007 y por cuestiones de tiempo no pude recorrerla como correspondía.

    Amo Bahía y su cultura, su gente, sus aromas!

    Soy una argentina fanática de BRASIL!

    En cuanto pueda volveré...

  • acho que vc ta sonhando com esse comentario sem logica , salvador e uma cidade muito boa com uma cultura muito massa nao sou baiano mais ja fui varias vezes e o povo e uma povo normal .....SALVADOR MUITO MASSA...

  • sabe pq FEDE?

    pq vem FEZES DE FORA, como vc!

    é bom mesmo, fique bem LONGE de Salvador!

  • Sim, la tem muita pobreza sim,, + eles tem muito + doq vc, o talento q eles tem e o sangue brasileiro q eles tem e mostrao...e com certeza a felicidade q eles tem, ao contrario de pessoas como vc, q nao tem nada melhor para fazer doque ficar espalhando este mesmo comentario em todos os videos do olodum! talvez vc deve ser amargurado e tem inveja da "vidinha pobre( + feliz)q eles tem lá né??! acredite em min, oque eles tem, vc numca tera...god bless you.

  • Ou então, saia do Brasile vá morar longe... são "pessoas" como vc, q fazem a "fama" desse país!

  • Putz, e vc vem falar de falta de educacao? Os sem educacao sao assim pq provavelmente nao tiveram oportunidade, Ja vc parece ter tido oportunidade e nao aproveitou muito. Por sinal vc nao deve ser uma pessoa muito inteligente por nao saber apreciar cultura e pelo preconceito que eu creio ser a fundacao dos seus comentarios. A vida tem muito a te ensinar, da proxima vez pense antes de fazer um comentario tao ignorante!

  • Yes, "notria" , i agree with vitorius.

    I lived in Bahia, in rio vermelho, for more than a year, 2001-2002, and the people I met and got to know and worked with (I lived in a poor part of town), they were some of the best people in the world. They should never have used the old-style pleasantry "meu rei" on someone so ignorant and , perhaps?, prejudiced, as yourself.

    to anyone who loves life, and this World: go visit Salvador da Bahia!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ty

  • i have to agree. i am in Bahia now and have enjoyed the culture immensely. i have been robbed at gun point, but have also had random people invite me into their homes to share a meal during holidays. the current president has a lot of support and Brasil, as a nation, has accomplished some great things recently. living in a developing country and watching the people strive to improve their land and lifestyle (mostly by emulating our great Nation) is inspiring. cheers!

  • Here I Am a Brazillian Guy in NYC, Love it. Although I Miss Dearly my Chicago IL.

    Brazil and USA together, nobody can't stop us.

    C YA BRO !!!

  • I agree 150%!

  • oi! td bem? sabe li seus comentarios a respeito do povo, cultura, e a cidade de SSA,

    acredito que vc deve ter seus motivos,mais por favor diga-me em que planeta vc vive?

    sim, pois em qualquer que seje o pais no planeta Terra, sempre havera good e mad, meu rei
