Food in Brazil
Brazilian culture and foods reflect those of the four obvious groups who make its population: native Brazilians, Portuguese and other Europeans, Africans, and Asians. For instance, the samba is a well known Brazilian dance with African roots. The bossa nova is a popular Brazilian music that blends jazz with local musical rhythms. Brazilians love sports, and their favorite one is soccer, which they name futbol -from the word football as this sport is known in Europe.
