BRAZIL! BRAZIL! THE SHOW - BANGALORE | CHENNAI | GOA | HYDERABAD
Brazil Brazil aims to introduce Brazilian way of life in its full. Three things come to mind when thinking of Brazil, Carnival, samba and football – these are the essence of Brazil.
They bring us the ideas of Brazilian dance, music and football, with a laddish emphasis on the fighting origins of the dance capoeira and on the importance of the beautiful game with gorgeous singers and dancers.
The band portrays the vibrant, dynamic culture of contemporary Brazil to the heart of people. They celebrate the country's rich cultural heritage – including music, visual arts, dance, literature, debates and food.
Brazil! Brazil! is about the celebration of the Brazilian way of life. The show explores the link between capoeira, samba, and football. The show also tells the story of how the origins of these cultural obsessions in Brazil stem from slavery – particularly in the north–eastern Bahia region.
The skills needed for capoeira, samba and football are very similar. The word Ginga, which means dodging, is used in all three activities. While capoeira and samba were formed by slaves, Brazilian football was transformed by them into what it is today.
The show as such is divided into 4 portions namely: Music & Dance
Capoeira (an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, music, and dance)
Carnival
Football
