Brazil is a cheerful, dynamic and creative country, resulting from the blend of several peoples and cultures. This kaleidoscope of influences gave rise to a genuine cultural identity, which has turned into a reference in several fields, particularly the fashion industry. This industry has found solutions to ensure that local creativity matches international quality standards. The sector is the 2nd biggest employer in the Brazilian labor market and have generated over US$300 millions in earnings.
No other art form, perhaps, is so deeply rooted at the core of Brazil’s national identity as music. Brazilian music is a fusion of Iberian, African and Amerindian influences endowed with a “facial Fatality”, in the informed opinion of writer and musicologist Mario de Andrade.
Despite regional imbalances and the great concentration of wealth still visible in Brazil, the country has built up a sizeable consumer market. Macroeconomic stability, low inflation and the contribution of the substantial informal sector of the economy have ensured fair levels of sustainability in the economy.
Yes, Pride for Being Brazilian!
