So glad you're digging Brazil!!! I went to Carnaval in Rio back in 2014 and was also surprised at how diverse the population is. The people looked as diverse as folks in the USA. It's size also reminded me of the US. My friend, Ulysses Jenkins, an artist and professor at U.C. Irvine, had recommended taking the dance course, "Dancing at the Source," offered by Viver Brasil-a dance performance group in Los Angeles with roots in Salvador de Bahía. As an African American traveling through Brazil, he said, "Folks in the US have no idea how much was stolen from us." Damn. I took the 2-week course in August of 2015. (The weather's still warm in August, but not oppressively hot:) Bahía's roots are deep. I hope you get a chance to learn about the Orishas and the role women played with maintaining African religious traditions, (Candomblé). There's also an incredible female batucada group in Bahía called Dida. You've gotta check 'em out. Safe travels! Enjoy the beaches, the food, the people,,,,, todo!! xoxoxo
