      I get shocked when some African creators visited Brazil, Cuba, Colombia etc just for the fun of it without dishing out the historical and educational aspects that will benefit Africans and African descendants. I'm not saying it's a must and maybe some of those people ain't just into that aspect of Africanism or know much of the history, but i feel as Africans we have a duty, cos there's a narrative out there by some forces against us, especially the supremacists trying everything to keep the disconnect between Africa and it's descendants in the new world. Wode Maya is a blessing to this generation and posterity will judge him for eternity.

      Allow this Jamaican to speak on behalf of AA. Being a minority in an environment that judges you, and constantly invent ways to ridicule your speech and culture. Not to mention demand that in order to succeed and progress, you must conform to strange and weird majority standards. In those circumstances, I think it's going to be difficult to retain the ways of your ancestors. Google the term 'Jim Crow', and please try to read about 'red lining', about strange fruit hanging from Poplar trees in the south, then, you MIGHT begin to understand our AA family's struggle to stay alive, let alone retain practice of their ancestor's customs.
      Hope I'm making sense. Our AA family needs our support, NOT our ridicule.

The opposite was palm oil, which is native to the Niger delta regiin of Nigeria and was taken over to the Americas. We live and learn.

      I think she is trying to refer it being imported from Ghana. Not that it’s original from Ghana. Cocoa is much cheaper to get from Africa. Sadly most coming from exploiting the farmers. As I seen Cocoa from the Americas being more pricer and it somewhat supporting indigenous farmers. Who are predominantly the growers.

      Cassava is also original from South America, a traditional crop from Brazilian natives, that was also taken to Africa by the Portuguese in colonial times.
      In Brazil it has different names depending on the region, that were inherited from different Amerindian tribes: Mandioca, Aipim, and Macaxeira are the most common, but there are more names for the same plant.
      Actually there are several African habits that were inherited from Brazil, taken to Africa by the Portuguese.

      Brazilian Consulate hosts Lagos coffee festival. The host of the event; the General Consulate of Brazil said that they are hosting part of the coffee festival because Brazilians are crazy about Coffee and arts, and part of the toppings for the coffee festival are the artifacts from the Ooni of Ife’s palace ” The Yoruba Museum” which is a mobile museum and will later go to Brazil and other countries of the world.
      Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has identified Nigeria’s century old heritage relationship with Brazil, noting that time has come to give the initiative an economic boost through cultural tourism. Speaking at the unveiling of the Afro Brazilian Cultural Centre in Brazilian Quarters, Popo Aguda, Lagos Island, last Monday, the Minister noted that the centre would not only preserve the historical narratives of Afro-Brazilian descendants but also would encourage and foster deep relationship with the government and people of Brazil.
      The celebration of Brazil-Nigeria Cultural Week, which holds on September 6 and spans September 9. Some of the events scheduled to hold include; Brazil-Nigeria Trade Forum section, Brazilian National Day celebration, Brazilian movie festival, Nigeria National Troup, Jazz Festival, stage play, literary week, art exhibition, and gastronomy.
      Some foreign devotees from Brazil at the just concluded Osun-Osogbo festival in Nigeria have expressed belief in the sanctity of the Osun deity, saying the annual fiesta offers an opportunity for worship through the sacred grove. This has been going on for decades in South West Nigeria.

    Cassava or maniok is indigenous to South America, and it was brought into Africa by the Portuguese.
    Cocoa is not from Ghana to Portugal but rather the way around.
    Cocoa or cacao is also indigenous to South America.
    Cocoa came from Fernadopo - a Portuguese colony which is now Equatorial Guinea .

    Maya, you never disappoint your audience or followers.
    This is another mind blowing educational and historical video that you can't learn in the classroom, but we were able to learn more through your Lens on the similarities of way of living, despite problems our brothers and sisters faced in the new world, they still stand tall by keeping African tradition alive.God bless you abundantly for what you do for Mama Africa.
    Great work and keep connecting our brothers and sisters in the Americas. This trip you embarked on should not have been necessary if African Head of States have agreed with Dr.Kwame Nkrumah in Ethiopia in 1963, for Africa to unite as one country. Because, if they have agreed in my opinion, Africa continent would have been developed with the abundant of natural resources the Almighty God endowed in the continent by adding value to the resources; through this, development will fostered, people in the Americas would have been able to discover where their ancestor came from and would try to reconnect to their roots or land.
    The Grace of Almighty God will keep you to live for a long time for you to enjoy the fruit of your hard labor with your family.Amen!!!

      @@lordofabraxas4414 You can generalize as the Tupi-Guarani people (the biggest group). But there were hundreds of different tribes, each one with slightly different languages and customs.
      Today there are more than 300 native ethnic groups in Brazil (before colonization there were even more), with more than 270 native languages, that can be categorized in two main branches with sub-families:
      Macro-Jê: Boróro, Guató, Jê, Karajá, Krenák, Maxakali, Ofayé, Rikbaktsa, and Yatê.
      Tupi: Arikém, Awetí, Jurúna, Mawé, Mondé, Mundurukú, Puroborá, Ramaráma, Tuparí, and Tupi-Guarani.
      They domesticated important crops like cassava, corn, sweet-potato, chili peppers, cashew, pineapple, peanuts, papaya, squash, and beans. They also introduced the habit of daily bath to Europeans.

    Well done! Amazing, outstanding content as always! Olodumare, Kabi o o si (translation - Almighty God, you can not be questioned) Indeed, Bahia has been declared the Yoruba capital of the Americas. "According to Brazilian anthropologist Nina Rodrigues (1862-1906) the Yoruba of Nigeria were the most numerous and influential Africans in the state of Bahia in the mid 19th century while Fayette Wiberly revealed that at this same time period, the Yoruba language had become the lingua franca for inter-nation communication in the Bahian city of Cachoeira. Rodrigues would also write that in the later part of the 19th century, Africans of all nations in Salvador, Bahia, were speaking Yoruba as were increasing numbers of Brazilian born blacks and mulattos."
