Salvador Recalls His African Ancestors In Food, Dance, Music And Faith

Salvador was the first capital of colonial Brazil, from 1549 until 1763, when he lost the post to Rio de Janeiro. Until now the two cities competing to see who attracts more tourists and foreign. Disputes aside, Salvador has one asset that no other Brazilian city has: its explicit connections with Africa.

The african-Brazilian culture is left literally play for tourists who choose to Salvador. With 80% of the black population, the city is one of the world that most preserve the colors and sounds of the continent of their ancestors slaves. At the same time, it also renew their beliefs daily. The syncretism of religion, in terraces or churches, the berimbau and rhythmic strokes that give the tone of poultry, and the sympathy of the Bahian ways plump, serving delicacies based on palm oil, pepper and coconut milk, do the tourist recall the time: yes, this is Bahia.

On the slopes of Pelourinho, a postcard of the city and World Heritage Site, in front of houses that began to be restored in the 1990s, the simple people struggling smiles, even with the difficulties. And try to survive, either as walking, with your small business. But when the evening comes, he will anchor a bench in the square and see life pass. There are even those who venture into a partidinha checkers.
Salvador is so prosaic that it seems that you already know the city on his first visit. Everything there is memory, a book, a movie, a song, a story. The Red River of Jorge Amado, the Itaparica of João Ubaldo Ribeiro, the Lower City of the traits of shameless Carybé the Itapuã Caymmi’s the nostalgia of Caetano and Gil and to the Carnival of Daniela Mercury and many others.

The Bahia is heir to the joy and rhythm. He dances, he knows first, and then to show others. The African drums that set the tone african blocks are the same that resonate in the church of Our Lady of the Rosary of Blacks and more than 200 candomblé city.

The city has the color and smell of nostalgia for a distant Africa, and the impossibility of having what could not become one. The pepper that heats the cooking is the same that makes life taste. The Salvadorian is the artist who admires the beauty of his usual routine. He is there, the slope of the Historic Center, among other places, just waiting for the tourist to discover the beauty as well.
