BRAZILIAN SHOW

	CAPOEIRA An electrifying martial art that synchronizes grace, power and agility. It was brought to Brazil in the 16th century by Africans from Angola. They had to masquerade it as a dance to survive.	PAGE 1 2 3 4 5 6
	BERIMBAU The Berimbau is one of the many intriguing musical instruments developed by Black culture in Brazil. It consists of a wood arch, bent by a string of metal wire; the resulting tension gives the wire a distinctive sound. The Berimbau is often used in Capoeira dance.
	LAMBADA Another popular dance comes from Belém, at the border of Eastern Amazon; the now world-famous "Lambada". The dance - voluptuous, sensual and downright carnal - is a life-size reflection of one of the strongest aspects of Brazilian culture, one that can be found throughout the giant country: the lust for love.
	FREVO A street carnival and ballroom type of dance, performed with small colorful umbrella.
