''Brazil with Michael Palin'' is a travel documentary series by Michael Palin consisting of four episodes. Palin had never been to Brazil which, in the 21st century, has become a global player with a booming economy bringing massive social changes to this once-sleeping giant which, as the fifth largest country, is as big as some continents.〔(Brazil with Michael Palin ) BBC One, 2012; Retrieved 25 October 2012〕 ==Episode one: Out of Africa== Palin begins his journey in the north east, where modern Brazil was born. It was here the Portuguese explorers first landed and encountered the native Brazilians and where hundreds of thousands of African slaves, more than to the United States and Caribbean, were brought to work on sugar and tobacco plantations. The northeast was where this mix of races and cultures produced what we now think of as Brazil. Music, food, dance, and religion all bear the imprint of this mix. Palin visits the city of São Luis during the celebration of its own very north eastern festival of Bumba Meu Boi ('Jump My Bull') before travelling down the coast to Recife and Salvador. On his way, he drops in on the vaqueiros, Brazilian cowboys, who work the massive cattle ranches of the Caatinga. His travels also take him to the stunning coastal lagoons of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. In Salvador, Palin learns to drum with the famous Olodum school, experiences the trance and dance of Candomblé, the Afro-Brazilian religion, finds out how to cook Bahian-style and discovers what lies behind the beguiling moves of capoeira dancers. * UK viewing figures: 5.74 million 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brazil with Michael Palin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
