ALL THE EXCESSIVE THINGS IN BRAZIL!!!




Brazil has great quantity of excessive things, that can become the inspiration for many of the tourists; things as its music, food, media and fashion, are reasons to believe that Brazil has many ways to make every visitor happy, being a country and a paradise simultaneously.

First of all, It is well known now, that Brazilian are masters on moda praia (beachwear fashion) as well as in Brazil going to the beach is one of the best things to do for most people, on leisure time. Meanwhile, brazilian fashion goes further than making nice bikini and lingerie design!. In less than fifty years, Brazil changed from fashion's produces importer to become exporter. Actually, world's major fashion centers (Paris, Londres, Milan, New York) exerce strongly and surely a certain influence on Brazilian stylists. However, these influences serve to reinforce the Brazilian way to think and live fashion. On the other hand, the media in brazil is veri extensive, but the most important Media, is the TV. The first TV channel in Brazil (and Latin America) was Rede Tupi (Tupi is the name of a large Brazilian indian tribe), which first broadcasted on September 18th 1950. For financial reasons, TV Tupi closed down in 1980. Click to read more about Rede Tupi (in Portuguese only); Although there are a few Educational TVs, most channels in Brazil today are comercial, and this lasts, depend on authorization from the government; there are no official subsides to commercial TVs.

About the food, Brazil has Whether you want: prawns, chicken, tapioca pancakes, coconut sweets, or corn on the cob, it can all be purchased on the street for next to nothing, so…don't be afraid to try some of the best snacks that Brazil has to offer; the nacional dish is feiojoada, and It's impossible to single out one restaurant in all of Brazil for its feijoada. If you want to try an astonishing dinner, Start with a caipirinha (that potent, delicious lime and sugar-cane drink) and some “caldo”, followed by steaming hot black beans with all the various meats. Side dishes include farofa, cabbage, orange slices, and white rice. Dab a bit of malagueta peppers on the beans for an extra kick.
Secondly, Brazilian music is full of passion, of sentiment, of joy. It is the result of a long simmering mix of heritage from AmerIndian, Portuguese and African sources meeting global influences to create a magical, mystical music. Yet it is the constant search for new forms within Brazil's diverse musical heritage that most captivates us and influences musicians around the world. Wherever you go in Brazil there is always the music. Whether it is the poly rhythms from percussion instruments at a street corner or a sophisticated discussion of the current year's Carnival songs, the culture shares a common inspiration through their music.

Finally, I have to say that Brazil has many distractions to offer to all its tourists without mattering wherefrom they come; but the most important thing, is to be well informed and to come ready to enjoy the marvels that this country offers.
