Capoeira, Bahia State, etc.
Hi!
We had “Lunch time seminar in English” at the World Plaza on Nov. 15. Mr. Marcos Kengo Shinozaki gave us the information of the Brazilian culture, history and nature.
This time he introduced National Holiday (Declaration of Republic Day), Capoeira, Bahia State, Fernando de Ｎoronha Archipelago to us.
Nov. 15, 1889, Brazil declared itself free from Portugal by Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca and Emperor Pedro II was deposed. The monarchy in Brazil was abolished at that time.
The emperor palace was surrounded by Marshall Deodoro’s troop.
He introduced Capoeira, a traditional Afro-Brazilian martial art. Capoeira was originally Brazilian martial art, but it has now grown into a dance style all around the world.
This is Capoeira instruments. These are very simple.
This is historic Centre of Salvador City, the Capital of Bahia State in Brazil.
The name of "Bahia" is an archaic Portuguese word, meaning of "bay" in English.
This is Salvador City view from the boat.
This is Fernando de Noronha National Park that is located in the Atlantic See about 360km from mainland in Brazil.
Morro do Pico (321 meters), highest point of the island of Fernando de Noronha.
This is “Praia de Leao”in Portuguese, meaning of “Leao beach”in English.
Lunch Time Seminar is held each Tuesday from 12:15 to 13:00 at World Plaza. Hana-san, CIR of Saga Prefecture Government International Affairs Division, will introduce Canada to us on Nov. 22.
