Frejon is basically feijão and creme de leite ( frejon or feijão in Portuguese) it’s cooking in different ways in Brazil all depends what part the country you’re going but it’s a everyday dish we brazilian loves beans over rice with some meat and vegetables ✌️
Conheci quando morei em Lagos nos idos de 1977 até 1989 descendentes de brasileiros. Residi em Badagry onde fica o museu Seriki Faremi (slave museum ) que pode ser visto pelo Google earth Obrigado Nigéria.
How can these wannabes refer to themselves as Brazilian, first their ancestors were taken away enslaved and they never were not even regarded as Brazilian citizens, they were seen as slaves, until they were emancipated, they despised Brazil and loved their place of origin that they had to trace their roots to resettle. All these renaissance and resurgence of culture that should not even be of pride to me is ridiculous.
I was born and live in Brazil, and I'm not proud of it. Here is the country that enslaved my ancestors and is also the most racist country in the world.
Please read the history of Candido Darocha. I beg you to read carefully about why some of them returned to Lagos....their being regarded as people of Brazilian descent is to remind them of how their own ancestors survived slavery after the imalé riot that led to their deportation from Salvador, Brazil......please put yourself in the shoes of these people before you criticize them. The ancestors of these people help fought for independence from the British, they where the first set of professionals we had in Nigeria....... please do more research.
History is place and time-you are shaped by where you are and what happens to you-good or bad. You cant blame people for their history.Time and movement is in control. It also shows that culture can be fluid.
"Feijoada" is an entirely different thing. It's made basically with black beans and pork parts. This feijon looks more like "tutu". But I never saw "tutu" made with coconut milk here in Brazil .
Their grandparents or great grandparents were returnee freed slaves from Brazil. They had lost their family name and took on the name of their slave captors.
Why do you say that? They are descendants who continued practices and heritage from Brazil so why would you think they are pretending? Last I heard it was not prestigious to be a slave...
the answer to you comment is already contained within the video , they were never brazilians at any point in time, they were Africans enslaved, taken to the americas and subsequently returned, their ancestry are both hausa and Yoruba and not brazilians, these people are clearly africans so why are these people celebrating Brazilian culture when they are patently factually and visually not Brazilians
The Black Amour Magazine ok so who is a Visual Brazilian? Remember they were not the first generation of slaves so they were born in Brazil, ate the food, were partaking in the culture, spoke the language....so what makes a person Brazilian then? Let me guess, they have to be white and Portuguese?
PUT YOUR SENSE TO WORK, WHY DO YOU GO TO WESTERN WORLD AND COME BACK HOME TO DRESS IN SUIT AND LIKE WESTERNER, YOU CHANGE YOUR WAY OF LIFE, SPEAKING PHONETICALLY AND EVEN THE WAY YOU SMILE.
have u ever seen the first brazilians? Not all the blacks were "returnees".... most free blacks in Brazil did not come from Africa... some were Moors from Spain and Portugal and others Indigenous.... hence why Nigerian culture was foreign to them and they never "assimilated" back after 188 years.... same story as Liberia...descendants of free blacks who are partly indigenous and partly free black europeans.... Liberians today call them "Congo" people..... Congo is not an african word... that was a name given by Belgians..africans changed it back to Zaire being it was more authentic african name...those from the Carribean and americas became "Amaros" in Nigeria" "Krios" in Sierra Leone and "Congo" people in Liberia.... Congo is a dance from Haiti, Conga is a drum from Brazil, names like Mambo,Zambo,Mamba, Tabacco, Cassava, guava, Savannah is all indigenous Arawak/Mayan/Carib words... not african..and these people were black..
Guy this is a proper history lesson, I just started taking Portuguese classes and I told my Brazilian teacher about this and she was amazed, it's something they do not know in Brazil, even in Nigeria when I was growing up in Lagos I'd hear foreign surnames and try to understand why they had that surname it was later I learnt about the returnees, this is education not news, learn the difference.
Já tem vários mega projetos turísticos no Brasil para promover o turismo em lagos ,tipo assim se você não quiser ser beneficiado vá embora pois nós brasileiros somos a resistência da África e o mundo na mente e na nossas veias
