Always the Dark Side
Working in tourism we promote the Brazilian culture, the better side of Brazil, whereas I am yet to see positive aspects of Brazil in your magazine. I guess you write what 70 percent of your readers want to read: a poor and corrupt Brazil.

Congratulations on putting together a magazine on such a great topic. Brazil is a fantastic country! :-) and since I'm obsessed with Brazil and especially their music, your magazine should be very interesting.

Beautiful and inspiring piece of text you've written on Suba (http://www.brazzil.com/musmar00.htm). I am seriously amazed by the personality of Suba, even jealous (hahaha)! I printed the article and will be reading it at home again, listening to his album! I am involved in electronic music as well and felt little inspired lately. Amazing how an article seems to change that. I will get busy again in what I seem to love so much (but what seems to be little accepted in Europe (Holland): Brazilian beats and harmonies. Still it's pretty difficult but one can't stop trying! Thanx again and keep bringing us fantastic tunes!

This is a little bit random and I hope you don't mind me getting in touch with you. I'm researching for a television series that looks at style and lifestyle around the world. I've been trying to find some people to chat to about the city because we're trying to find six locations to film that best represent the style of the place. This would include a hotel, restaurant, fashion designer and three or four really beautiful homes.
I'm finding research really difficult at the moment, primarily because a) I'm based in London and b) my Portuguese is non-existent.
So, I know it's a long shot but if you have any suggestions for people I could speak to in the city, I'd be hugely grateful! Many thanks

I went on line last night and found the article about João Herbert (http://www.brazzil.com/p10feb00.htm) in your magazine. I am an American of Portuguese-African extraction, my mother's family African American and my father's family Cape-Verdean, African American and German American. My husband and I were shocked and appalled at the actions of the US Government. How insensitive! If my parents adopted me and years later the government sent me back to Cape Verde, I would be so lost and depressed I wouldn't know what to do.
I will pray for sound minds to prevail in the next deportation case. Apparently the US government has not respect for the family circle or the sanctity of a parents love. Isn't it strange that we can lay down our military arms and allow tyrannical world leaders like Fidel Castro visit upon our shores, but we close loving arms and make hard our faces in such a delicate matter as this.
My husband and I are interested in building a home and living in Brazil as well as to adopt two (boy and girl) Brazilian children. We don't care if they are brown skinned, we love children and they are God's gift. We want to learn as much as we can. Please send us your magazine and we will be happy to subscribe.

Dear Darrell Westmoreland, I so much enjoyed your story about your first Carnaval experience in Brazil. Just loved it and the wording was just perfect. Lots of fun reading it and brought back lots of memories—well before your time—like back in the mid-fifties. My main Carnaval experience was in Rio then and it was very, very unusual—we lived in Leblon. My niece now teaches economics at the Escola Americana in Rio and plays volleyball with a Brazilian team on the beach of either Ipanema or Leblon, don't know which. I love my memories of those years in Brazil and I hope you continue to visit there and will possibly continue to write more about this year's experience with Carnaval.

Dear Bruce, as a Pernambucano living here in the US, I was thoroughly impressed by your article on Mestre Ambrósio in Brazzil magazine. In addition to being an Ambrósio fan, I have a personal connection with them, since my wife, Flávia, attended the Conservatório Pernambucano de Música, where she was friends with Sérgio Cassiano. She also got to meet Helder Vasconcelos in Engineering school. I would very much like to know your take on their second and third albums. Are you planning to write more articles on them?

I am a US volunteer student going to Brazil to volunteer through a non-profit non-government organization, the Institute for International Cooperation and Development. From March 16 to June 8 I will be volunteering in Brazil. I will be in Paraná, Salvador, Recife, and a couple of other cities in northeastern Brasil. I am very interested in spending some of my time volunteering in hospitals in Salvador, Bahia, and Recife.
Do you have any suggestions on hospitals I can contact to set a period when I can volunteer in the hospitals? I recently received my Bachelor of Science degree (biology major) and I am very interested in pursuing a medical career. Any contacts or suggestions on whom I should contact, to do volunteer work in hospitals while I am in Brazil, will be greatly appreciated.

I have only recently learned about the Southerners from the U.S.A. moving to Brazil in the 1860's. I have read where between 9,000 and 10,000 men and their families made the move. This article said only 110 men made the move. Did you mean that 110 came to Santarém or 110 total came to Brazil because I also read where the towns of Americana and Santa Bárbara d'Oeste were settled by Os Confederados. I would appreciate all of the information that you can give me on Os Confederados.

This May Bloomsbury will publish FUTEBOL: Soccer: The Brazilian Way of Life by Alex Bellos. Through the lens of Brazil's trademark sport, Alex Bellos brings us a fascinating portrait of Brazilian identity. As you may already know, the World Cup will be played in Korea and Japan May 31 through June 30. FUTEBOL is the perfect book to "bring in the season" and to learn more about the sport and the country where it is so passionately played.
Whenever one hears the word "soccer" ("football" to the rest of the world), Brazil comes to mind and this is because the Brazilian soccer team is one of the modern wonders of the world. Soccer is how the world sees Brazil, but it is also how Brazilians see themselves. The game symbolizes racial harmony, flamboyance, youth, innovation, and skill, and yet it is also a microcosm of the country itself, containing all of its contradictions.
Traveling extensively from Uruguay to the northeastern backlands, and from the coastal cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to the Amazon jungle, Alex Bellos shows how Brazil changed soccer and how soccer changes Brazil. He tells the stories behind the great players, like Pelé and Garrincha, the great teams, and the great matches, as well as extraordinary stories from people and fields all over this vast country.
I don't have galleys for FUTEBOL right now (and I am not sure when we will), but I do have a manuscript I can send you as well as a blad (with excerpts and photos). Please let me know if you are interested in receiving the materials for FUTEBOL and I will messenger them over.

The CD pirates of Brazil sell 4 CD's for US$4...or a dollar a CD. Well, if Sony sold them at the same price they'd sell so many they'd make the same profit at the lesser amount (US$1) as the profit at the higher price (US$12) and we'd all have the music and the artists would get their due. This pirating is just another of the genius in Brazil. You can't stop it without more genius than the geniuses.

Via InternetThis Is War
I was startled to read, in the letter by G. L. from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, that one has a 1 in 2000 chance of being killed in Rio de Janeiro each year. Wow, is that really true? If Rio has 7 million people, are about 3,000 killed each year? That is a real war zone. Gustavo, how did you get these figures?
I lived on Rua Barata Ribeiro in Copacabana for two years and while there was the obvious typical city ongoings it was a wonderful life experience. Albeit in Rio even in the Copa one has to be very careful at night, especially off of Avenida Atlântica.
In two years there were only three notable incidents of violence that presented themselves to me. One a gun murder at point blank range just a few feet from where I was standing with my wife and my sister in law on Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, and another at the gas station on Avenida Atlântica during a robbery; and still another where multiple muggers robbing at the Rio Sul shopping center.
The latter was more like an adult criminal gang attack; and in this case only the robbers were killed or executed on the spot by the police.
In those 3 cases both innocents and criminals were killed. But other than the extraordinary Rio Sul incident, the others, and so many others I presume, are no different than my own city experiences in my native San Francisco.
But do these killings in Rio number over 3,000 per year? Are the favelas (shantytowns) that inundated by violence? Can someone clear up my concerns and curiosity and what must be fears for the average Carioca?
I have lovingly returned to Rio numerous times with at least if not more love for Rio than my own city. Am I ignorant of the violent reality of the Cidade Maravilhosa?
Does the vibrancy of life in Rio, perhaps the world's most beautiful geographic city, draw an equal and opposite dark side to the romance and the music this City of Brazil invokes in its permanent and transient inhabitants?

Ulisses Braga-Neto
Baltimore, MarylandLatin Yes, Hispanic No
This is a copy of the letter I sent to the editor of The Observer (official newspaper from the Broward Community College):
I was surprised when I opened the November 19th edition of The Observer and read the article: "El Club Mundial de BCC Hosts Hispanic Festival" by Caroline Cullen. I was surprised because my country's name was there, since Brazil is not at all a Hispanic land I was shocked by it. Why were Argentina, Spain, Chile, Mexico…not there? Those are the real Hispanic countries.
We Brazilians are very proud of the Portuguese language, our Luso-Brazilian culture, our way of being and also our history, and I do not understand why we have to belong to a Hispanic Club without knowing it. Why didn't you guys display the flags of Quebec, France, Italy…? Why don't we have a Brazilian Club (Clube Brasileiro)? A Latin Club would be the best. In reality, Brazilians and Portuguese are Latin like the Italians, the French, the Romanians and all the Spanish speakers.
A Latin Club maybe would be better, because that would embrace all Latin Languages speakers. In my point of view, Americans and also Hispanics must understand that Latin is not only someone that speaks Spanish. They must know that not everyone who speaks one of the Latin Languages is Hispanic. Every Hispanic is Latin but not all-Latin language speakers are Hispanics.
Why display the Brazilian flag in a Hispanic Festival? The Brazilian flag is not only the symbol of our homeland, the beat of our heart, it is also the pride of our Luso-Brazilian culture. What made me write this letter was the questioning of many Brazilians that are students of BCC and FAU. They came to me, and they knew I am a journalism major, they asked me if I could write a letter and send it to the editor of The Observer commenting on the article that in one way is very offensive to the Brazilian Community in South Florida.
Brazilian students told me that the Brazilian flag and name were displayed during the festival, but nothing about or related to the Brazilian Culture and language was presented. The purpose of my letter is not to offend or be sarcastic toward the Hispanic Community or Broward Community College, but to let them know that we have our own heritage, culture, language and way of being.
If you guys of the El Club Hispano want to display the Brazilian, Italian, French or Quebec flags, please, it is time to create The Latin Club, but please stop thinking that everyone who speaks one of the Latin languages is Hispanic, because they are not!

Estou enviando esse texto—que é na verdade um poema—sobre uma de minhas visitas ao Brasil com meu marido. Foi a primeira visita dele. Morei no Brasil até 5 anos, quando decidi pegar meu passaporte Americano e voltar (nasci na Calilfórnia quando meu pai estudava em Stanford e fui para o Brasil quando ainda bebê).
Two Wooden Bowls—duas gamelas de madeira, compradas a um índio mestiço, na beira da estrada. Meu marido, claro, ficou fascinado pelo trabalho artesanal, mas principalmente, com a simplicidade e humildade do artista. As gamelas, vejo-as daqui, em cima duma cômoda, na minha sala de visitas. Me avisem se não têm interesse por poesia.
Ohio, EUATwo Wooden Bowls
On the top of the chest of drawers they sit
the small atop the bigger wooden bowl, oblong both,
as feathers, light material, hand carved, reminiscent of another world.
The wheels cross the distance between the asphalt and the shoulder
dust floats on the air breeding with the rays of a sunny afternoon.
A little wooden shack, miserable, piles of wooden bowls around,
slices of fresh curled wood, like snow flakes fill the floor
crawling around unfinished bowls, as chicks around their mother.
Behind the shack, the mountains spread their perfume
a river crosses down at the valley. Then we see the man.
Dark thick hair, shy, awkward gesture from artistic hands
an Indian-European model for Velasquez light darkness drama.
The lines in his face, his aquiline nose, black eyeballs lowered,
thick eyebrows defend him from the look of strangers.
His lightly curved back anatomically prepared to accept the chore,
the chisel born in these callous industrious hands of his.
Bony volumes in his stretched tanned body forms a sculpture
the fabric carves its texture in dirty lines and swirls across the volumes.
He could have been a Ramses, his strong profile defying the horizon,
he was the man who simply carved light pieces of wood. Simple.
No majestic ramseic sandals stepping on the dry soil, no stony pectoral,
just the curved backed rough being, no more than what he was. Simple.
The sound of car doors slamming, words, dirty children's silhouettes,
a pile of fresh carved bowls holds the air around them
exhibiting their light rough skin, tempting, pale, primitive, pure.
The man's hands are dirty, dark. He is not literate.
He doesn't know he's an artist or where America is
he just sits and carves wooden bowls;
art flows from his hands as water from the spring down to the valley.
The artist is a man who doesn't know what an artist means.
The man, the artist, needs to feed his children.
Two wooden bowls sit on my lap as the car gains distance.
I feel as if I carry this man's children and I speak softly
only they can hear my whispering "there, there."
Only they can hear the man's, the artist's thoughts they carry.
They will go to a far land, they will cross rivers and mountains,
there, where the sun shines in different angles,
there, where the words have different meanings and tastes.
The two wooden bowls will sit inside each other as if they speak
and finally they will both find comfort in their oblong, concave contact,
and they will look for acceptance from the chest drawer,
there, where they can't understand the language spoken.Milla Kette

Oi. Sou brasileiro aqui de Porto Alegre e estava pesquisando sobre uma banda que eu gosto muito e cujo estilo de música adoro (sem deixar de lado os outros ritmos) bastante. Estava pesquisando sobre a banda chamada Facção Central—Too Hot to Handle (http://www.brazzil.com/p09oct00.htm) —e sei muito bem que o clipe é meio violento, porém sei muito bem o que eles querem dizer em sua letras e como vi que esta notícia foi dita nos EUA, o jeito que você (Elma Lia Nascimento nome de quem fez a entrevista) traduziu leva a entender que vocês tem (sic) o objetivo de rebaixar a música.
O clipe é violento mas a música é apenas um meio para dizer como o nosso país é violento e vocês que provavelmente moram aí nos EUA não devem saber de nada, pois, não são ninguém para falar o que ocorre por aqui a não ser pelos meios de comunicação. Digo isso porque a música esta (sic) incompleta e falta (sic) muitos detalhes, fizeram a tradução muito burra e quem fez não entende nada de inglês e aquele que pegou a música para tradução não sabe ler ou nem toca em livros e jornais.
A violência só vai acabar se tivermos consiência (sic) do que fazemos, eles estão errados apenas neste clipe, porém estão certos e todas suas músicas. Vocês que estão aí tem (sic) que mostrar como os brasileiros são competentes no que fazem e não fazer idiotices como esta tradução estúpida e saber como informar as pessoas.
