Brazilian Sound)
African heritage survives in modern Brazil in a variety of manifestations. Brazilian
Portuguese has incorporated many Yoruba and other African words. The cuisine in
Bahia is
quite similar to that of West Africa. And Brazilian music, dance, and culture in general
are heavily rooted in Africa. In fact, Brazil has the largest African-descended population
outside of Africa.
