INTRODUCTION

Brazil (Brazilian Portuguese), is the largest country in both South

America and Latin America. At 8.5 million square kilometers (3.2 million square
miles) and with over 208 million people, Brazil is the world's fifth-largest country

1
by area and the sixth most populous. The capital is Brasília, and the most
populated city is São Paulo. It is the largest country to have Portuguese as
an official language and the only one in the Americas, besides being one of the
most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to the strong immigration
from various places in the world.

HISTORICAL REVIEW

Some of the earliest human remains found in the Americas, Luzia Woman, were
found in the area of Pedro Leopoldo, Minas Gerais and provide evidence of
human habitation going back at least 11,000 years.

Around the time of the Portuguese arrival, the territory of current day Brazil had
an estimated indigenous population of 7 million people, mostly semi-nomadic
who subsisted on hunting, fishing, gathering, and migrant agriculture. The
indigenous population of Brazil comprised several large indigenous ethnic
groups (e.g. the Tupis, Guaranis, Gês and Arawaks). The Tupí people were
subdivided into the Tupiniquins and Tupinambás, and there were also many
subdivisions of the other groups.

CUSTOM
Capoeira: in regards to the traditional dances and dances of Brazil, first of all,
we have to mention Capoeira, considered by many to be a work of art. Mix
different elements of martial arts, dance, sports and body expression.
Historically it was practiced by the old slaves, who gave origin and developed
different techniques of one of the most important dances in Brazil.
Carnival Rio de Jainero: Carnival is a celebration that is experienced as a
national holiday, in which everyone dances to the rhythm of the Samba groups,
from the smallest to the largest. It takes place during 40 days of Easter, more
than 2 million people gather in the streets, next to the sambadrome, to observe
and participate in the parade of the colorful and immense floats next to the
musicians and dancers.
Samba: It is a strong rhythm, all kinds of percussion instruments are used and it
really becomes very contagious. It has become such an important musical
genre in Brazil that it has given rise to many new ones, such as bossa nova.

LANGUAGE
The official language of Brazil is Portuguese (Article 13 of the Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Brazil), which almost all of the population speaks and is
virtually the only language used in newspapers, radio, television, and for
business and administrative purposes. The most famous exception to this is a
strong sign language law that was passed by the National Congress of Brazil.
Legally recognized in 2002, the law was regulated in 2005. The law mandates
the use of the Brazilian Sign Language, more commonly known by its
Portuguese acronym LIBRAS, in education and government services.
