Brazilian Culture


Brazilian culture is a great set of cultures, which synthesize the diverse ethnicities that make up the Brazilian people. Therefore, there is a homogeneous Brazilian culture, but a cultural mosaic of different strands that form, together, the culture of Brazil. It is clear that after more than three centuries of Portuguese colonization, the culture of Brazil is largely rural, root Lusitanian. It is precisely this cultural heritage that makes up the unit lusa Brazil: are different ethnicities, but all speak the same language (Portuguese), and almost all are Christian, with a large predominance of Catholics. This linguistic equality and religious diversity is a rare event for a huge country like Brazil. The trend of the customs of different people is when they relate so closely, build hybrid expressions, ie, their cultures are mixed, resulting in new expressions of popular demonstration.
As human groups influence each other, we can say that folklore is not a static science, dead. Rather, it is dynamic, as well as researching the past, must be alert to change in this.
