Such a great video, as a Brazilian I usually find foreign videos about the country ranging from bad to awful. This was very well researched and done with care, congrats.
A exatidão das informações realmente está acima da média. Acrescento que hoje, a esmagadora maioria das festas brasileiras não são de Samba, muito menos Bossa Nova. Já há algumas décadas, o Sertanejo e as suas variantes, além do Funk em menor grau, dominaram esse cenário. Outros temas são o pré-sal, a polarização política, o judicialismo, o excesso do uso de redes sociais, etc. Aguardo a parte 2 😊😂❤
The brazilian Artur Avila has earned in 2014 the Fields Medal in Mathematics, equivalent to a Nobel Prize. Brazil is the first country of Iberian culture (including Portugal, Spain) to earn this prize, which is the most prestigious in Math.
This is, without a doubt, the best english-language video about Brazil on RUclips. I clicked subscribe after just 2 minutes in, and I was impressed the whole time. The care in portraying accurate info (even down to the pronunciation of Portuguese words and the choice of footage and graphics) is commendable. I'll be bookmarking this for sure. Thank you so much for this!
I'm from Hungary (Hungria) 🇭🇺, and my fiancè is from Espirìto Santo, Brazil. I have just spent 1 month in Brazil and fell in love with it. 💗I loved watching this documentary, very well made and really interesting. Thank you🤗
I visited Sao Paulo some years ago. Now I was looking for a good documentary about Brazil and I got more than I expected: all the matters well explained, good voice, good audio, beautiful images. I'll suggest this channel to family and friends. Amazing work. Thank you !!!
@TheMMANEL Brazil was founded and built by the Portuguese under Portuguese administration from 1500 to 1822 Brazilians inherited from the Portuguese a territory that corresponds to the largest former colony in the world
@@R3ACHGOD In past centuries, the inhabitants of Brazil were Portuguese subjects of the kings and queens of Portugal there were no passports in the same way if you consider Pakistanis, Indians, etc. build London "Indians are among the highest number of property owners in London" To remember also the USA "in 1865, the 13th Amendment was ratified, abolishing slavery throughout the United States. ... Some four million slaves were set free..." So imagine between these four million slaves and the others already freed, how many Africans there were there
I am absolutely impressed by the sheer quality of the geographical content you provide. I have never seen a channel before delivering such a comprehensive precise and interesting summary of a country. Keep up the good work.
I am Brazilian, and have to say it's one of the best videos made by a foreigner about my country, i ever saw. I would recommend you putting the physical geography and climate segments before the political since they are dependent of the former and maybe enlarge a bit the culture segment.
Me too from the Philippines but to Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paolo, Southern States (European cultural region of Brazil mostly of German and Italian origins)
This channel is criminally underrated, such high production value deserves way more recognition. Very glad I found it. This is better than stuff on TV with million-dollar budgets, amazing work.
Wow - thank you! Very kind to say so. I'm still trying to crack the YT algorithm. It almost seems like alchemy, to be honest. But we'll get to the magic 100k subs within the next 1-2 years.
One thing which gives me so much pride after having seen things from the outside after living away from Brasil for so long is the fact that we are so multicultural and ethinically diverse . From Iapoque to Chui (northern most to southern most) Brasil is incredibly beautiful. I am so lucky to have been able to drive the vast majority of BR1 (101) from Natal to Pelotas. From Beaches to mountais, waterfalls that rival anything seen anywhere in the world. The food is varied according to where you are. The people are warm, friendly, welcoming, passionate, opinionated, loud, crass, and giving. The past has made us Brasilians and we are very proud bunch of people regardless of where we may live in the world, and even if we have a second citizenship-being Brasilian will bleed through even if we live in white and nothing but white Antartica.
one minor thing i feels needed at least mentioning, regarding the immigrations to brazil, at 28:50 is a (relatively) large influx of the japanese starting at 1908 also, almost forgot, thank you for the great content, and particularly, the mostly positive and hopeful angle, was kinda needing that. cheers from Campinas-SP
Thanks! Yes, I understand that many Japanese left their country in the late 1800s for South America, most notably Peru, though some, as you say, would have also gone to seek work and fortune in Brazil.
@@Geodiode Brazil has the largest population of japanese ppl outside Japan. Also Lebanese, Syrian, Ucranian and German all have very big population of descendants in Brazil. You can even find some cities that speak mainly German in the South, the most famous being Pomerode which keeps some traditions and even language that are almost forgotten in Europe. Middle Eartern culture and food are very appreciated here as well, you can find it everywhere. Anyways, you did an amazing work with this video! Thank you very much.
@@Geodiode No, it was not "most notably" to Peru: Brazil have the biggest Japanese (and their descendants) community outside of Japan! According to the Japanese Agency for International Cooperation, three fourths of the Japanese who came to Latin America went to Brazil. See the difference: the Japanese/Peruvian community in Peru has some 90.000 people. The Brazilian/Japanese one has some 1,5 million people, most of them in the São Paulo state!

Amazing video!! There were many surprises in it that I discovered through your investigation!! Definitely Brazil is an amazing country! Thanks for putting so much effort to create it! 👏👏💪
I have loved the video... My country and my parents country is the most beautiful country in the world with a mixture of different cultures - European African red Indian Asian and Arabic cultures... Its gastronomic rich is wonderful too... I am able to die for the sake of my country... God protect Brazil and guide its population to the right way...
As someone who's writing a country set in the future based on Brazil and south american as a whole, this helps a lot in ensuring I'm not doing cultural appropriation when I write. Thank you!
Fantastic opening montage - so well done! I love the gold overlay that you have of all the countries moving around the world... the music and intro dialogue were BBC worthy mate!
Thank you for the video. I'm from Brazil and I think you did a good job on portraiting the history of my country through a fair and respectful view. Again. Thank you.
Knowing that Portugal,at the time with a population of 2 million was able to built the 5th Largest Nation on Earth,is an Outstanding feat by any standards. And was not only Brazil,but other several nations and territories across the World. Remarkable feat of Courage,Resilience and Sheer Willpower.
Man, simply one of the best or THE best video about Brazil in general that I've saw. Really well produced and documented. Very, very nice, congratulations and thanks for this work!
😎 Brazil fascinates me. Thank you for your contribution to my education and entertainment. Since you asked for corrections, I might call your attention to the pronunciation of the name of the great Oscar Niemeyer. Peace.
Thank you for this video. Next July I hope to spend a month in Rio: for the music. I know that Sao Paulo has more, but it's too expensive for me. I will be 71, and from Kodiak Alaska. That's why I chose July: it will be cooler then. I have been in love (from afar) with Brasil since I was 12, and I'm very excited! This video was really excellent as an introduction. Of course there was much more you could have covered, but it would have taken FAR more time: so you did a terrific job considering the time constraint. Wish me luck!
This is, by far, the most accurate english spoken video about Brazil available on RUclips! I already been in a lot of countries all around the world and would never change Brazil for none of them!
Brasil não é só Rio de Janeiro. Temos 8,000 Km de litoral e centenas de cidades lindas e com natureza exuberante. Seria bom, aos estrangeiros, terem acesso a isso.
As a Brazilian I would like to congratulate you for a very good summary about Brazil. Well researched, accurate, it is very good indeed! I would make just a minor observation, really minor: regarding culture, it is undeniable that Rio has been the cultural capital of the country. And in all fields of culture and cultural influence. But this started to slowly change since the capital moved to Brasília. With the consequent economic decline of Rio, São Paulo came to prominence, each time more so. It became the biggest city, its economy boomed and became the biggest in the country and later in South America. To make a long story short, nowadays São Paulo is the new cultural capital of Brazil: It has the best and most influential universities, the best museums and art exhibitions, much more important musical concerts and shows, much more theatres than Rio, more venues for cultural events, fairs and shows. More bookstores, more publishing houses, more art galleries, more art events, more famous orchestras and ballets. It has also more museums of all kinds, including the best art museum in South America, the MASP. And so on! Some old cariocas still think of Rio as the cultural capital, but all indicators point to São Paulo as the differences both demographic and economic between both are each year more pronounced! Culture follows suit, naturally!
Thanks v much for that detailed write-up. I have had a number of comments from Paulistas on that cultural point, so, noted! (No, I'm not going to take sides on Rio vs SP ;) )
This was outstanding!! As a Brazilian myself, I was very impressed and touched by how precise and deep your investigation went to. Sadly even we do not know much of our own History. Personally, I'm moving away to Japan due to violence, government corruption and terrible labor conditions but hear my words: No matter for how long, if you are linving on planet earth, you must take a glimpse into 🇧🇷
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it. Yes, many problems. Which is such a shame as the Brazilians i have met through this channel have been very resourceful and smart people. In planning your move to Japan, did you see my video on the country?
Correction: the coffee barons kick the emperor because his daughter abolish slavery! Check the dates. The slaves were a source of income and used as debt guarantee.
Enslaved Black people, in America were used to build the South. Black people, were economical, for the Southern economy. That's the reason, for the Civil War.
Em síntese sua resposta esta correta , também , tem haver com a insatisfação dos militares da época , triste . Uma republica que já começou errado , sem um pingo de apoio popular .
É dificil encontrar um resumo histórico que cubra cinco séculos e que seja tão preciso. Parabéns! It's hard to find a historical summary that covers five centuries and is so accurate. Congratulations!
Apesar do tamanho e dos números que faz desse país um dos maiores do mundo,a impressão que fica insistentemente em mim, é que nós brasileiros precisamos ser mais respeitados pelo resto do mundo...👋👋👋🇧🇷🇧🇷🙌
Usually I rolled my eyes when people try to describe Brazil’s geographic and historical make ups, However your video is slowly unrolled them You have one new subscriber! by the way, don’t mind the so-called corrections on your comments… Although I agree with some they are just personal preference based on political wishes and once I am loving the videos about the biomes!
@@naubermiranda1025 Yes and no. Spanish used to be important then English replaced it. All in all we have our own languages and dialects in daily life.
Thank you Ashley. Just out of interest, what curriculum are you on that sees you studying country profiles? If I know that these videos are being used by teachers then I will continue to make more of them.
@@Geodiode we use My Father's World. The year we're going into is Exploring Countries and Cultures. It's an immersive program where we take a virtual tour around the world, spending 2-3 weeks in each of the dozen or so countries, exploring the language, demographics, geography, and culture. They even give you a passport and play money in the various currencies each nation uses. I'll list them here in order: USA Mexico Canada Brazil Norway France Germany Kenya Saudi Arabia India China Japan Russia Australia Antarctica (obviously not nearly as much anthropology going on in this unit but the last 2 weeks of every year are mostly lighter in material to give everyone a chance to review) And we learn about the various biomes as we go for the science portion, so it all ties together.
@@Geodiode any time! I hope it gives you some insight into our upcoming homeschool year and encourages you to continue producing your wonderful content. I know other families will appreciate it just as much as we will, and I'll definitely encourage them to subscribe. :)
@Margiare I don't mind the heat and the humidity to be honest. I'm Canadian and I'm sick and tired of the cold. I spent three months in Panama with temperatures above 35 every single day, I didn't complain.
Eu sou Brasileira, obrigada por produzir conteúdo sobre o Brasil. Parabéns 👏👏👏👏 ótimo trabalho, você é muito competente. Faça outros sobre a cultura ou o bioma cerrado, há muito conteúdo interessante sobre o Brasil que daria um ótimo vídeo como este. Parabéns 👏👏👏👏 sucesso.
Parabéns a equipe que produziu esse vídeo. Uma incrível capacidade de síntese do meu país, que conforme várias vezes ressaltadas no vídeo, por tudo o que apresenta, pelo que tem, pela sua História e desenvolvimento como nação seria sempre uma tarefa muito difícil. Há pouquíssimas reparações a fazer, creio que muito mais pelo fato de ser feito com uma visão distante do produto que apresenta do que a partir de qualquer outra consideração. Isso é bom. Mostra-nos coisas que não sabemos e não incorre em repetir aquilo que já conhecemos. É provável que nem eu ou qualquer outro brasileiro fizesse algo melhor, especialmente numa escala de tempo tão reduzido. Novamente, parabéns à equipe.
Muito falar tal escravidao dizendo que o Brasil é um pais com passado problematico e construido na exploracao dos escravos o que é uma tremenda mentira. O Brasil nem existia nos tempos da escravidao com pais, isso foi coisa de portugueses e seus descendentes diretos e nada sobre a colonizaçao germanica no sul do pais, esta sim que foi importante para o desenvolvimento industrial e por ter colocado o Brasil na oitava economia global. O mesmo bla .. bla .. bla .. de sempre... Brasil, escravidao, samba, carnaval. Parece que com a intençao de propagar uma imagem negativa do pais no imaginario internacional. Para tudo tem uma intençao com essa gente desses paise de lingua inglesa tem que tomar cuidado. E muitos brasileiros deveriam se informar mais profundamente sobre o seu pais e nao cair no gogo de gringos.
Indeed, the city of São Paulo is gigantic, leaving behind great metropolises such as New York and Mexico City. And São Paulo is the city with the largest number of buildings in the world. 33 thousand buildings in total. São Paulo is also the most economically powerful city in Latin America, São Paulo is also known for being a mega-diverse city, there are people of various races and creeds. São Paulo is amazing.
I'd say half of those buildings are condos. That's the problem with São Paulo, there's little urban planning and no laws against overcrowding the city and skyline with endless condos.
What about Gramado and other beautiful towns? Not everyone want to live in a over crowded city. I like to live in areas less then 200,000 people. I was born in Los Angeles and it was the worst place to live. The suburbs in Ventura county were a much better and safer place to live. I dont drink, smoke, party, club. Im in bed by 9:30
I'm a Brazilian woman, and I want to say Thank you very much for the great video 👍. Muito Obrigado . God bless you, please keep doing for more countries. Your video are very educational. 🥰🇧🇷✌🇧🇷❤
Sou do Espírito Santo (BR); não tenho o hábito de comentar nos vídeos, mas você e sua equipe merecem elogios pela produção. Como alguns dos meus conterrâneos já disseram, com certeza é a melhor apresentação do Brasil em inglês aqui no YT, muito respeitosa e justa. Muito impressionante sua habilidade como produtor de conteúdo (pesquisa vasta, gráficos bonitos e não distorceu nenhuma informação, ...). Agradeço pela sua dedicação e interesse de divulgar o país. Continue produzindo
Este vídeo com certeza não foi feito para brasileiros e sim para estrangeiros que fala ingles. Infelismente no Brasil, muito poucos brasileiros dominam o idioma ingles. Fico feliz por ter legenda em portugues. Obrigado Dode!
Congratulations on the video! I am very proud of my country, sometimes we are underestimated by the great world powers, but we know our value. Brazil is about to become a world power, and we will make the world respect us. In a few years, certain countries like France and the United States will no longer have the courage to dare to say that the Amazon is a world heritage site. RESPECT OUR SOVEREIGNTY. I SPEAK DIRECTLY FROM BELO HORIZONTE MG, BRAZIL!!!! 🇧🇷
13:52 Also nice to point out the USA supported the military coup, and even readied an aircraft carrier to come to Brazil's coast and take down the government by force in case it wasn't successful.
This is a great video about Brazil and its history. Glad to see it, it caught my attention since the begining. Thank you for your effort and nice work!
This is a really good video, thank you for it. I just wanted to state a fact, after the abolition of slavery, the royal family was making plans to give the ex-slaves lands so that they could live and survive, knowing of this, the rich and powerful farmer owners (coffee barons) allied with the army and gave them loads of money, who them performed the coup de etat. The monarchy was extremely popular along the population, who did not want the transition into a republic, there was a dictature state that lasted nearly 35 years (i think) and public/popular simpaties for the monarchy was brutally surpressed.
If this is true, then it is a very sad story, but knowing how aristocratic elites work for their own self-preservation, it doesn't surprise me in the least. It makes you wonder what different course Brazil might have taken had this not happened...

As someone who's writing a country set in the future based on Brazil and south american as a whole, this helps a lot in ensuring I'm not doing cultural appropriation when I write. Thank you!
Great to hear! I hope you've been able to check out my series on Climates and Biomes, to ensure you get a realistic landscape also!
As a Brazilian, I affirm that everything being said in this video is correct. 🇧🇷 greetings from Pernambuco, Brasil.
Fantastic opening montage - so well done! I love the gold overlay that you have of all the countries moving around the world... the music and intro dialogue were BBC worthy mate!
this sounds bri'ish
Que bello es Brasil lo amo
Thank you for the video. I'm from Brazil and I think you did a good job on portraiting the history of my country through a fair and respectful view.
Again. Thank you.
Thank you very much, and hope all is well down there...
Knowing that Portugal,at the time with a population of 2 million was able to built the 5th Largest Nation on Earth,is an Outstanding feat by any standards.
And was not only Brazil,but other several nations and territories across the World.
Remarkable feat of Courage,Resilience and Sheer Willpower.
Man, simply one of the best or THE best video about Brazil in general that I've saw. Really well produced and documented. Very, very nice, congratulations and thanks for this work!
Thank you very much! Was the hardest video I've ever done, so it's nice to get some comments back!
@@Geodiode Hope the hard work pays up, that kind of video deserves it :)
😎 Brazil fascinates me. Thank you for your contribution to my education and entertainment. Since you asked for corrections, I might call your attention to the pronunciation of the name of the great Oscar Niemeyer. Peace.
Thanks! I struggled with some of the pronunciations. Portuguese is a lot harder than Spanish in this regard.
Thank you for this video. Next July I hope to spend a month in Rio: for the music. I know that Sao Paulo has more, but it's too expensive for me. I will be 71, and from Kodiak Alaska. That's why I chose July: it will be cooler then. I have been in love (from afar) with Brasil since I was 12, and I'm very excited! This video was really excellent as an introduction. Of course there was much more you could have covered, but it would have taken FAR more time: so you did a terrific job considering the time constraint. Wish me luck!
From Kodiak to Rio - honestly, the contrast couldn't be greater! Have a wonderful trip, and enjoy the beautiful scenery and music!
This Brazil video is so informative! Loved learning about its history, geography, economy, and culture. Thanks for sharing such valuable insights!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a Great Country, full of contradictions, energy, beauties and a brave people! Go Brazil. Go!
Thanks for the interesting information! I learned a lot of new things.
This is, by far, the most accurate english spoken video about Brazil available on RUclips!
I already been in a lot of countries all around the world and would never change Brazil for none of them!
Obrigado André!
Congrats! You really portrait Brazil perfectelly!
Thank you so much 😀
Brasil não é só Rio de Janeiro. Temos 8,000 Km de litoral e centenas de cidades lindas e com natureza exuberante. Seria bom, aos estrangeiros, terem acesso a isso.
Senti falda do Nordeste, não mostrou nada.
@@Clodd1 agora para falar do brasil tem que mostrar tudo que vcs lixos querem?
Sim eu nem sou do nordeste mas sou um cacto de óculos
😌
todo mundo sabe ngm é burro
Very informative! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
As a Brazilian I would like to congratulate you for a very good summary about Brazil. Well researched, accurate, it is very good indeed! I would make just a minor observation, really minor: regarding culture, it is undeniable that Rio has been the cultural capital of the country. And in all fields of culture and cultural influence. But this started to slowly change since the capital moved to Brasília. With the consequent economic decline of Rio, São Paulo came to prominence, each time more so. It became the biggest city, its economy boomed and became the biggest in the country and later in South America. To make a long story short, nowadays São Paulo is the new cultural capital of Brazil: It has the best and most influential universities, the best museums and art exhibitions, much more important musical concerts and shows, much more theatres than Rio, more venues for cultural events, fairs and shows. More bookstores, more publishing houses, more art galleries, more art events, more famous orchestras and ballets. It has also more museums of all kinds, including the best art museum in South America, the MASP. And so on! Some old cariocas still think of Rio as the cultural capital, but all indicators point to São Paulo as the differences both demographic and economic between both are each year more pronounced! Culture follows suit, naturally!
Thanks v much for that detailed write-up. I have had a number of comments from Paulistas on that cultural point, so, noted! (No, I'm not going to take sides on Rio vs SP ;) )
My wife is from Brazil. We live in Canada and are missing Brasil like crazy. Can’t wait to be back in Brasil
Bem-vindo! Are you Brazilian? Let us know where you're from, and say hi!
São Paulo, hi
❤ Follow me🙏🙏
muito bom, i'm impressed!
from vitoria, ES.
Hi! congratz for the deep history in your videos. I'm from Natal, RN.
hello there! I´m from philippines but living in Sao Paulo now for 8 years
Congratulations for yet another educational video of excellent quality.
*Good work buddy. This is the best video about Brazil I've ever seen in the English language.*
Wow, thanks!
This was outstanding!! As a Brazilian myself, I was very impressed and touched by how precise and deep your investigation went to. Sadly even we do not know much of our own History. Personally, I'm moving away to Japan due to violence, government corruption and terrible labor conditions but hear my words: No matter for how long, if you are linving on planet earth, you must take a glimpse into 🇧🇷
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it. Yes, many problems. Which is such a shame as the Brazilians i have met through this channel have been very resourceful and smart people. In planning your move to Japan, did you see my video on the country?
Not yet, but thanks for sharing! Will definitely watch it! 😁
Correction: the coffee barons kick the emperor because his daughter abolish slavery! Check the dates. The slaves were a source of income and used as debt guarantee.
Enslaved Black people, in America were used to build the South. Black people, were economical, for the Southern economy. That's the reason, for the Civil War.
Em síntese sua resposta esta correta , também , tem haver com a insatisfação dos militares da época , triste . Uma republica que já começou errado , sem um pingo de apoio popular .
É dificil encontrar um resumo histórico que cubra cinco séculos e que seja tão preciso. Parabéns! It's hard to find a historical summary that covers five centuries and is so accurate. Congratulations!
Apesar do tamanho e dos números que faz desse país um dos maiores do mundo,a impressão que fica insistentemente em mim, é que nós brasileiros precisamos ser mais respeitados pelo resto do mundo...👋👋👋🇧🇷🇧🇷🙌
Para isso acontecer precisamos respeitar a nós mesmos primeiro. No momento, todo castigo a brasileiros é merecido.
Brasil não é respeitado porque o povo se comporta diante dos americanos e europeus como cães vira latas, cheirando e lambendo às botas deles.
@@marciooliva4447 Porque?
Usually I rolled my eyes when people try to describe Brazil’s geographic and historical make ups, However your video is slowly unrolled them
You have one new subscriber!
by the way, don’t mind the so-called corrections on your comments… Although I agree with some they are just personal preference based on political wishes and once
I am loving the videos about the biomes!
Thank you very much!
I would like to visit Brazil in the future. Any city will do. 🇵🇭❤
It's funny how filipinos chaged their línguage but keep the older names.
@@naubermiranda1025 Yes and no. Spanish used to be important then English replaced it. All in all we have our own languages and dialects in daily life.
GREAT VIDEO!! thanks
Yet another excellent addition to our homeschool studies! Thank you again, good sir!
Thank you Ashley. Just out of interest, what curriculum are you on that sees you studying country profiles? If I know that these videos are being used by teachers then I will continue to make more of them.
@@Geodiode we use My Father's World. The year we're going into is Exploring Countries and Cultures. It's an immersive program where we take a virtual tour around the world, spending 2-3 weeks in each of the dozen or so countries, exploring the language, demographics, geography, and culture. They even give you a passport and play money in the various currencies each nation uses. I'll list them here in order:
USA
Mexico
Canada
Brazil
Norway
France
Germany
Kenya
Saudi Arabia
India
China
Japan
Russia
Australia
Antarctica (obviously not nearly as much anthropology going on in this unit but the last 2 weeks of every year are mostly lighter in material to give everyone a chance to review)
And we learn about the various biomes as we go for the science portion, so it all ties together.
@@ashleypenn7845 this is valuable information. Thanks very much for that!
@@Geodiode any time! I hope it gives you some insight into our upcoming homeschool year and encourages you to continue producing your wonderful content. I know other families will appreciate it just as much as we will, and I'll definitely encourage them to subscribe. :)
@@ashleypenn7845 it's greatly appreciated. Having viewers share with others really makes a difference. Thanks for helping out on this!
Oh Gosh!! I grew up in Sao Paulo, but I learned so much from this video! Thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing as always! While waiting for new videos I watch your previous videos multiple times🤗
Pride of my country, thank you for the best documentary about Brazil.❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome!
Wonderful video, thank you very much for making such good videos.
I am from Brazil (Rio grande do sul) and the climate here is perfect
@Margiare I don't mind the heat and the humidity to be honest. I'm Canadian and I'm sick and tired of the cold. I spent three months in Panama with temperatures above 35 every single day, I didn't complain.
@Margiare Calor é bom demais
Brasil 🇧🇷 meu Brasil 🇧🇷...amo por ser brasileira ❤️👏
Fascinating. . Thank you for an interesting video. 👍😁
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good video!
I'm from Brazil, state of Rio de Janeiro.🇧🇷

Good work! I live in Brazil and still I've got new information from this video!
Eu sou Brasileira, obrigada por produzir conteúdo sobre o Brasil. Parabéns 👏👏👏👏 ótimo trabalho, você é muito competente. Faça outros sobre a cultura ou o bioma cerrado, há muito conteúdo interessante sobre o Brasil que daria um ótimo vídeo como este. Parabéns 👏👏👏👏 sucesso.
Great video, and the bossa nova in the background is wonderful!
Thank you!
Parabéns a equipe que produziu esse vídeo. Uma incrível capacidade de síntese do meu país, que conforme várias vezes ressaltadas no vídeo, por tudo o que apresenta, pelo que tem, pela sua História e desenvolvimento como nação seria sempre uma tarefa muito difícil. Há pouquíssimas reparações a fazer, creio que muito mais pelo fato de ser feito com uma visão distante do produto que apresenta do que a partir de qualquer outra consideração. Isso é bom. Mostra-nos coisas que não sabemos e não incorre em repetir aquilo que já conhecemos. É provável que nem eu ou qualquer outro brasileiro fizesse algo melhor, especialmente numa escala de tempo tão reduzido. Novamente, parabéns à equipe.
Muito falar tal escravidao dizendo que o Brasil é um pais com passado problematico e construido na exploracao dos escravos o que é uma tremenda mentira. O Brasil nem existia nos tempos da escravidao com pais, isso foi coisa de portugueses e seus descendentes diretos e nada sobre a colonizaçao germanica no sul do pais, esta sim que foi importante para o desenvolvimento industrial e por ter colocado o Brasil na oitava economia global. O mesmo bla .. bla .. bla .. de sempre... Brasil, escravidao, samba, carnaval. Parece que com a intençao de propagar uma imagem negativa do pais no imaginario internacional. Para tudo tem uma intençao com essa gente desses paise de lingua inglesa tem que tomar cuidado. E muitos brasileiros deveriam se informar mais profundamente sobre o seu pais e nao cair no gogo de gringos.
Great video, great country, lovely cities
Indeed, the city of São Paulo is gigantic, leaving behind great metropolises such as New York and Mexico City. And São Paulo is the city with the largest number of buildings in the world. 33 thousand buildings in total. São Paulo is also the most economically powerful city in Latin America, São Paulo is also known for being a mega-diverse city, there are people of various races and creeds. São Paulo is amazing.
Brasil não tem só são Paulo e Rio de janeiro não
@@gr-cg4yh Eu sei, mas os gringos pensam que o Rio é q maior cidade do Brasil kkkk
I'd say half of those buildings are condos. That's the problem with São Paulo, there's little urban planning and no laws against overcrowding the city and skyline with endless condos.
@@unm0vedm0ver I think you'll find that is not the case. Not this gringo at least.
What about Gramado and other beautiful towns? Not everyone want to live in a over crowded city. I like to live in areas less then 200,000 people. I was born in Los Angeles and it was the worst place to live. The suburbs in Ventura county were a much better and safer place to live. I dont drink, smoke, party, club. Im in bed by 9:30
I'm a Brazilian woman, and I want to say Thank you very much for the great video 👍. Muito Obrigado . God bless you, please keep doing for more countries. Your video are very educational. 🥰🇧🇷✌🇧🇷❤
So glad to hear! And you're welcome!
Hey Eunice
How are you doing today?
Hope all is well ...with you
Well done - thank you for the quality of this informative program 🙏
Meu país que orgulho 😍🇧🇷❤
corrupção e violencia governo liXo ai a ver
أنا من المغرب أحب الناس البرازيل
Thank you ❤🇧🇷
My country Brazil is very big, we have several beautiful capitals that still need to be known.
I am Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro and I live in London-UK, for about 30 years. Very good documentary!!
Thanks Adolfo. So you didn't need the Portuguese subtitles😁
you did an amazing research, terrific job man, congrats.
Much appreciated! It took a ton of work to make this!
I always feel so happy when I see people liking Brazil, even if it's just a silly little comment
Amo meu Brasil ❤🇧🇷
Sou do Espírito Santo (BR); não tenho o hábito de comentar nos vídeos, mas você e sua equipe merecem elogios pela produção. Como alguns dos meus conterrâneos já disseram, com certeza é a melhor apresentação do Brasil em inglês aqui no YT, muito respeitosa e justa. Muito impressionante sua habilidade como produtor de conteúdo (pesquisa vasta, gráficos bonitos e não distorceu nenhuma informação, ...). Agradeço pela sua dedicação e interesse de divulgar o país. Continue produzindo
Obrigado!
Este vídeo com certeza não foi feito para brasileiros e sim para estrangeiros que fala ingles. Infelismente no Brasil, muito poucos brasileiros dominam o idioma ingles. Fico feliz por ter legenda em portugues. Obrigado Dode!
And yet, most of the comments are from Brasilieiros! :) But yes, my audience is global. I'm glad the subtitles helped!
@@Geodiode they say that if you have the word Brazil in your video, Brazilians will flood your channel...
infelizmente
nao ta sabendo nem escrever portugues imagina unfortanetaly
Damn this video is so complete, i got a whole coountry lesson in less than an hour. I wasnt expecting. Thanks
I just had one job ;) Thanks, by the way!
Amo meu país Brasil acima de tudo ♥️
Excellent video 🇧🇷
Obrigado!
Wonderfully done! Truthful to the core! Congrats! ( From a Brazilian)
Obrigado!
Congratulations on the video! I am very proud of my country, sometimes we are underestimated by the great world powers, but we know our value. Brazil is about to become a world power, and we will make the world respect us. In a few years, certain countries like France and the United States will no longer have the courage to dare to say that the Amazon is a world heritage site. RESPECT OUR SOVEREIGNTY. I SPEAK DIRECTLY FROM BELO HORIZONTE MG, BRAZIL!!!! 🇧🇷
Thank you! Yes I imagine the bullying of the Globalists isn't very popular when it comes to assets within your own borders...
Perfect video from my lovely country! Congrats!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
13:52 Also nice to point out the USA supported the military coup, and even readied an aircraft carrier to come to Brazil's coast and take down the government by force in case it wasn't successful.
Thanks God for that, or we'd become a Communist country by then.
The best video about Brazil I've ever watched! 👏👏👏
Thanks!
Eu amo o meu Brasil🇧🇷👍🏼
This is a great video about Brazil and its history. Glad to see it, it caught my attention since the begining. Thank you for your effort and nice work!
This is a really good video, thank you for it. I just wanted to state a fact, after the abolition of slavery, the royal family was making plans to give the ex-slaves lands so that they could live and survive, knowing of this, the rich and powerful farmer owners (coffee barons) allied with the army and gave them loads of money, who them performed the coup de etat. The monarchy was extremely popular along the population, who did not want the transition into a republic, there was a dictature state that lasted nearly 35 years (i think) and public/popular simpaties for the monarchy was brutally surpressed.
If this is true, then it is a very sad story, but knowing how aristocratic elites work for their own self-preservation, it doesn't surprise me in the least. It makes you wonder what different course Brazil might have taken had this not happened...
Nada melhor do que um toque brasileiro!
Brasil não é só Rio de janeiro 👍
