- By André Cicalo. This documentary (Portuguese with English subtitles) discusses the remembering of Atlantic slavery in the port region of Rio de Janeiro, after its prolonged forgetting within the city's official history. In 2011 the city council of Rio de Janeiro has established a Circuit of African Heritage in the port area, after discovering archaeological remains of slave-trade docks during works of urban regeneration. The film describes some of the aspects of how Afro-Brazilian heritage is being created and appropriated in the area. That said, "Other Africas" also raises questions about how the memorialisation of the black people's past intersects with processes of urban regeneration of the waterfront in Rio (particularly in view of the 2016 Olympics) and also with the current scenario of racial politics in Brazil.

Good to keep African culture alive..I love you brothers and sisters in Brazil,Jamaicans,Haiti ,afroCubans, African Americans, Puerto Rican,Suriname,Barbados,Bahamas and many more African descendants in Caribbean ,north America and south America
Dominicans too
This is a great documentary. Issues similar to USA with gentrification. Also the burial ground similar to the ones found in New York and Dallas. When there was building work in New York, and Freeway expansion in Dallas, was when the forgotten burial sites of slaves and freedmen where discovered.
Keep the African culture alive and well. We are pround of you Afro Brazilians. AAfrica is on the rise and will soon come to your rescue. Keep the culture and start to learn Kiswahili or swahili language
will "Africa" take them back?
is that what your mean?
cos the americas is not african ,neither it is ASIATIC
@@meta-etherealinfo2445 sure as hell aint European; naturally.
@@jimdenson
YOU CAN BARK AS YOU PLEASE,BUT GEOGRAFICALLY SPEAKING..AMERICAS IS CLOSE TO EUROPE,.WE ARE OCCIDENTALS
NOT AFROS..ASIA OR ARABES
DOH!!!
STUPID OLD MAN
DIM DUM!
@@meta-etherealinfo2445 so you are europeans now, you are right indigenous people arent Africans neither Asians but also not europeans. What do you mean close to europe. Africa is close to europe what is your point
No Africa wont take us back, we have been gone to long and if you have some white in you a lot of africans wont see you as their brother/sister. The should have taken our ancestors back but nobody did. We creool people are on our own
Excellent! I live in Boston, USA. We have a big Brazilian community here. This video is helpful in giving me additional insights into this immigrant group.
Thanks so much!
im glad they excavated this site, wonderful ceremony for all the souls that had to go through this horror.
Sou Carioca com muito orgulho!!!🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷
I'm Yoruba though I don't believe in their deity but this hit me hard, seeing how they preserved our culture and speak the language. I pray that God grant them answers to their prayers, Amen!
Colonized mind
thats your problem
Dude only around 150k out of 214 million Brazilians actually speaks Yoruba. In other words less than 0,1%
yeah youre probably an evangelical colonized subservient person...
Sarah, you are actually correct. They are wasting time and energy with these false deities. Where were those deities then? But clearly our God of the Bible did warn us this would happen to us but He would not forget us entirely if we return to Him. It's time for us to reconsider and return to our Maker. The God of Jacob!
I was there in 2011 to 13 when the afro Brazilian descendants were being displaced by this vanity project. Old traditions need to be documented in the archives and kept alive as part of world heritage. The pint isn’t DNA ...the black woman at the start said, they gave no education, no schools, no doctors or hospitals in the favela or near. That is the pint. Not a DNA test. They need clean water and proper services to be able to live and progress. You will never see black people employed on administrative roles or office work. I was with my friend shopping. The security would not let him in with me so I walked away. They can play more music for the tourists and entertain them in the luxury hotels but are not allowed into the shopping areas. I was trying to get funding for my anthropology research which so far I have e paid for myself. To document the social injustices I experienced whilst living there for 3 years. It’s now out of bounds for us to go there. That we need to document the cultural and ritual customs as well as provide clean water and services is more critical than ever.
Parabéns pelo comentário justo!!! Os negros no Brasil continuam escravizados, não nas fazendas dos Senhores e senzalas, mas nas favelas sem esgoto e dignidade. Sou descendente de antigos Senhores de Escravos e reconheço a tragédia da condição dos negros.
I grow up in Brazil specifically in Rio, my family lived in a favela for about 3-4 we worked hard and got out of that poor situation, the sad thing that most get accommodated there and generations grow up there in misery... Like being in the favela is a life style! As a kid I went to school and learned as much as anybody else, and I can testify that victim hood is real! Black folks is Brazil were not treated like in the US, 50's, 60's and '70 and so forth nothing like in the US! Yes as slaves they were treated worse than American slaves because the Portuguese thought that was easier to replace a slave than treat their illness... ( and that will never be accepted in my book!) I think social media destroyed our harmony, from 1990's to present, I am in my late 50's and I am so sad that this racial division is now part of a country that used to celebrate diversity... Farther more the affluent Africans come over and instead of an apology and a compensation for their ancestors selling their fellow tribes, just and more hate and division... As far as I am concerned Mother Africa is as guilty as the colonizers!
I like the Nigerian Yoruba clothing
I am proudly Yoruba, we have cultural heritage
@@nikkyadekomi5365 Yes. I agree. You have a very rich culture.
Europeans, and other non brasilians. Brasil is not only Rio de Janeiro. Try to check other states that this social system do not exist.
stop bullshitting you damn idiot.. Brazil IS Rio de Janeiro and Salvador.. the rest is racist shit...
@@jorgerio6888 Rio and Salvador together are less than 5% of Brazil's population
@@andarilho_31 so what? Fuck that.. nobody cares South of Brazil is totally nazi and racist.. shut da fuck up.
Brasil is Bolsonaro isn it.. u racist shit
Omg I was just in Rio 2 weeks ago in little Africa and didnt see this spot. Another reason for me to go back
Eu sou carioca e tenho 63 anos, sou de OXOSSI. Aprendi em Iraja, que muitas familias que moram no suburbios vieram do centro do Rio e Gloria , A proposta das reformas de Pereira Passos foi exatamente para remover os negros do centro da cidade, era para "brancanisar" o pais, este movimento chamado de Eugenics entrou no Brasil e o Rio era a capital Federal.
A Monarquia permetiu que os negros (ou pretos?) oculpassem os predios coloniais abandonados do centro da cidade, como aconteceu em todo o Brasil, esta familias negras ja viviam ha 20 anos trabalhando com sacrificio. Mas o Pereira Passo tinha outros planos pra eles, derrubou o morro do Castelo, que era a onde a cidade foi fundada (o nosso pelorinho), o morro do Senado a onde tambem possuiam muito negros, como tambem muitos casaroes colonias que ficavam a onde e a avenida Rio Branco ou Branca? foi construidas, inclusive igrejas barrocas, isto vai se repetir com Getulio Vargas nos anos 30'derrubando a praca Onze com a popular igreja de Sao Pedro e com o Carlos Lacerda nos anos 60: Quando e que os negros teram paz?
O Rio era conhecido como a "cidade maravilhosa", mas sofria de febre amarela vinda do Oriente e outros males de mal saneamento, mas com o pretesto de "curar" os males da cidade removeram todos os negros do centro da cidade, como os negros fossem o foco do problema ou como removendo os negros resolveria o problema da cidade ou do pais, os brancos pensavam assim e o negros so queriam paz e sossego. Muita da violencia que ainda existe no Rio vem desta revoltas entre os descedentes destas familias que foram removidas nos anos 60, aquilo foi a gota d'agua.
O prefeiro do Rio,o racista Pereira Passos estudou em Paris e fez do centro do Rio a copia de Paris, na epoca a capital Francesa nao tinha negro e as ideias Eugenics estavam a todo vapor ali tambem. A Avenida central foi construida so pra brancos, nao idenizaram (mais uma vez) as familias negras/pretas que viviam ali e a cada novo lote da nova avenida foi dada pra as familia brancas mais ricas do pais, criando um problema que nos temos ate hoje, dos descententes destes "milionarios" que nao fazem porra nenhuma na vida, mas era uma "boa pessoa".kkk
Eu conheci alguns deles, no Restaurante Baiano OXALA, que ficava na cinelandia perto do Hotel Serrador a onde uma desta descentes vivia a vida toda no Hotel da familia construida nos terrenos dados de graca, viveu assim sem trabalhar ja que era tambem filha de militar, tinha a tal pensao vitalicia e comia toda a sexta no Restaurante, (ela pagava kkk) todas as sexta iam no Restaurante muita gente vestida de Branco, pois era dia de Oxala, acho que esta senhora era filha de Oxala.
Tambem no OXALA conheci a cozinheira Dona Helean, o segredo do restuarante. Eu sinto a presenca dela ate hoje. Ja falecida, dona de uma umbanda em Queimado, que cheguei a visitar o chao era de terra batida. Nos anos 60 ela morava no morro do esqueleto e foi expulsa pelo Carlos Lacerda e foi morar em Queimado,. A Dona Helena estava pagando o barraco dela, que nao e um barraco como de hoje, era espacoso e tinha jardim a onde ela cultivava todas a ervas para a Umbanda funiconar, aprendi muito com ela.
Desde o primeiro golpe militar e Republicano aconteceu no Brasil. foram removidos muito negros do centro do Rio, jogando no suburbio ou nos moros perto do centro, como da providencia, Catumbi e Mangueira. O Paulo da Portela tinha 10 anos quando a familia, vizinhos e amigos foram removidos do Castelo e foram todos despejados por volta dos anos1922, nao precisava demolir ja que a Avenida ja estava construida, mais encomodava a elite branca passou a morar ali nas casa de luxos construidas, detalhe a empreza que demoliu o morro do Castelo foi uma impreza branca que veio dos USA exclusivamente pra isso.
Do morro do Castelo muitos foram morar em Madureira mantendo uma ligacao com o novo centro portuario construido levando com sigo o samba que ja acontecia no centro, o PAULO ja adulto fundou a escola de samba PORTELA (que se chamava "Vai como pode"). Infelismente, a nossa Republica copiava muito os USA, aplicando assm muuitas tecnicas ja aplicadas em Nova York, de acabar com o passado da cultura negra, das raizes. "um povo que nao sabe a sua historia, nao sabe pra onde vai e tera problemas de identidade, problema de identidade e muito grave e pode gerar violencia.
Na decada de 60, outro racista e pro USA, o prefeito Carlos Lacerda (penso que ele trabalhou para a CIA), derrubou varias favelas e inclusive o morro de Santo Antonio a onde possuia muito artistas/negros, que viviam da artes (musica, pintura, teatro, escultura, cinema etc..) Desde entao o centro cultural do rio passou a ser a zona sul, ali eles pensam que estao nos USA/Europa. Dizem que o Rio de Janeiro se parecia muito com Lisboa, so que nos derrubamos muito morros e a capital portuguesa nao, um dia vamos sentir muito a falta de todos os morros cariocas que foram derrubados, com o nivel do mar aumentando a zona sul da beira da praia vai acabar, fechando um ciclo, vamos dizer de completa desperdicio de deinheiro, porque o que vai ficar serao so as montanhas.
O prefeito Eduardo Paz, atual prefeito esta tentando reverter este passado, muito complicado. Talvez o Rio e a unica cidade que a cultura nao fica no centro, o centro e meio que fantasma, almas perdidas vagam por ali.
Muito obrigado pelos seus importantes comentários Adolfo. Grande abraço :)
Ótimo !!!
Dont move. Keep the black history intact
Nice one lovely🙏💟👍👏👏💞💖🆖
Thanks so much!! :)
At 5 mins she’s saying that they do t have money to trace ancestry. Please note: ALL in so called 1st world countries can not afford it at all either! The DNA 🧬 tests should be anonymous my numbers as there isn’t the trust for the sensitive information to be shared appropriately. There needs to be protection of the samples as well. Further- the expense should be included in reparations packages instead of written or verbal apologies.
I agree it's expensive, but perhaps buying a DNA test is also matter of culture and politics...and black politics in Brazil are much less developed than in the United States. I also share your view on test anonymity. This is a growing concern everywhere. The reparation package including DNA test is something interesting I had never though before. Thanks for sharing your view!
Sista please tell me you dont live in the US? because if you do $60 to do a DNA test is nothing.
@@andrecicalo8248
HAHAHAHH WTF!
IF YOUR GO TAKE "DNA TEST" YOUR WILL SEE A LOT OF MAP IN IBERIA,EUROPE,,AND THE NEW WORLD AS WELL,,AND THE VAST MAJORITY WILL BE AFRICA,FOR NORTH AMERICA,IT WILL BE DIFFERENT PART OF AFRICA,FOR SOUTH
ANGOLA,,NIGERIA,,UGANDA,ALL OF WEST AFRICA AND EAST
MOREOVER,IN THE USA,THEY HAVE LOST THEIR "ROOTS" TO AFRICA.MORE SO THEN THE REST OF THE AMERICAS
STOP CRY DUDE!!
AFRO BRAZILIAN HAD THE RIGHTS TO PRESERVE THEIR CULTURE MORE SO THEN THOSE OF THE USA
The commentators Italian underlying accent evident
The disregard of African History by the Brazilian authorities is unmatched
because racial hate is this century thing in Brazil, we used to be more harmonious, thank you social media
@@ChronicMe You cannot be harmonious w/o an understanding of the history of Brazilian slaves. You can pretend to be. Social media cannot light non-existent fires.
Hosea 4:6. 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
These ceremonies wont change a thing. Only returning to Our True God will. The God of Israel. No way around it. We can cry and complain all we want.
