Brazilian Black beauty contest Beleza Negra Original Salawa Abeni Awilo
. As soundtrack we hear the nigerian female singer Salawa-a peculiar kind of sound-no bas guitar, besides a song of Awilo Longomba.

  • beautiful black people!

  • @oluwalogbon58 Fact is when it came to the treatment of slaves, the Brazilians got it far worse, infact their life expectancy was shorter than the average American slave,yet the spirit lived and lives on! Yes there are injustices going on in Brazil geared towards the AfroBrazilians,yet that hasn't broken that strong African spirit,and I guess that's why they don't have as many hang ups,and are proud that they may have left Africa,but Africa NEVER left them!

    TRUE SURVIVORS!

    PEACE!!

see all

  • funny how that comment was spammed by a certain idiot who googles my name to cry i dont give a damn! lol

  • well i know for a fact that in cuba they still speak yoruba,, and is the same ships that came with slaves to brasil

  • @TBOOYY the first track is a well known and respected traditional female musician "salawa abeni" she also acts in yoruba films in nigeria.. its great to see this as the brazilians are very proud of their ancestry and they do , practice our languages and traditions. not all of course there is a section of brazil that do this..

  • @Nappitude21 i think that qopha is saying it is racist because if it was a whites only contest it be racist to black people

  • yep... thats definately nigerian music

  • Im white but lets be honest,racism is fucking retarded!Beautiful people comes from all races and classes and good people come from all races and classes.People who discriminate are generally thick and not very well read!

  • Too bad this anachronism continues, the belief that beauty is physical. The judges and audience are no different than birds or apes!

  • Why is that stupid guy dancing? 

  • Why are whites judging? This is about black people and us value our own beauty.

  • @HBKLDN There seem to be more Yoruba influence than Angolan. The Orishas, Yemoja are Yoruba. Umbanda is syncretic between some Angolan trad religion, Roman Catholicism and Yoruba traditional religion. It is comparatively recent. If you notice they make use of Orixas (Orisha) which is Yoruba

    Peace bro!
