Brazil, part 1: Afro-Brazilian Culture in Salvador [WORLD CITIZEN]

Brazil is known to be one of the most sought-after travel destinations on Earth. Iconic beaches, mountains, and landmarks dot the horizon of this massive country. However, the part of Brazil that most people don't know about is the Afro-Brazilian culture brought by 500 years of colonization and slavery.

In the city of Salvador, Bahia, it has developed into its own unique subculture of Brazil's diverse ethnic landscape. Paulo Rogerio, an entrepreneur and social activist, told us about its unique cultural makeup, which can be seen in various aspects of everyday life in Salvador.

Capoeira is a style of martial art that originated in Salvador. It combines the rhythmic movements of traditional African dance with the hard-hitting reality of a serious fighting style. I joined a class to see if I could compete with the locals.

After working up an appetite, the crew went to eat at one of Salvador's critically acclaimed but little-known dining spots for an Afro-Brazilian meal reminiscent of some African-American soul food.
