Hey, nice video, now that you know even Madureira, you can also get to know the "French Fry King" at batata de Marechal, but hey, Dunga, if you can read this, please take them also to Itacoatiara, Camboinhas, Parque Nacional da Tijuca, Pedra da Gávea, Ilhas Tijucas, Grumari, Prainha and Pedra do Telégrafo
It's worth noting that the "samba school competition" you're referring to is a multimillion-dollar spectacle that happens once a year, over two days, typically in February. It's incredibly beautiful, and it's a fierce competition. I'd recommend going to the Rio samba parade at least once in your lifetime, it's an amazing experience. If anyone's interested, just search youtube for keywords like "rio carnival parade (desfile) 20xx". Personally, I'd recommend watching Grande Rio's 2022 parade or Viradouro's 2020 parade, these are two of the most beautiful parades of this century IMO.
This year I went to the third division parades in Madureira. Really interesting event as you get within touching distance from the performers and floats, unlike at the Sambodromo.
It's so weird to see you guys in places that I lived and passed through almost everyday. Última coisa que eu esperava era ver vocês tomando um açaí no MegaMatte do Polo1 kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
This is real Rio…I would never recommend for tourists going by themselves, but if you have a local to go along, its amazing ! You guys should ask dunga to take you to Deodoro to try the famous “Deodoro fries” I don’t want to spoil too much, but you wont regret
@@joaomarcos6974 My bad, got it mixed up, too many "Marechals", Deodoro is named after a "Marechal" too, but apparently it's not included in the neighbourhood's name
Hey guys, loved to see that you're in Brazil again! And it's really cool that you're interested on the universe of the afro-brazilian religions! They are part of our culture, and can be found all over Brazil, not just Bahia, as you've seen in Rio. If you're really interested, you should visit a terreiro and interview someone. Nowadays it isn't difficult to find people that speak english and are part of these traditions! Thanks for the content, hope to see you visiting my homeland (Minas Gerais) and the city where I live (Fortaleza). As we say in the afro-brazilian religions, axé!
Try to visit the Island of Paquetá (Ilha de Paquetá), you guys can take a boat 'Barca' at Praça XV (Rio downtown area) and go to the island, its a very carioca thing to do in the weekends.
The gourd (cabaça) is a fruit of northeastern origin, you can eat the fruit that comes inside sautéed and you can use the shell for decoration, lamps or put water to set with a root or plant flavor.
If you like markets like this one, you should definitely visit Central Market (Mercado Central) in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. It was founded in 1929, has over 400 stores, and it has an information service in portuguese and english where you can book a guided tour. In 2016, it was voted the 3rd best market of the world, only behind Mercat de la Boqueria in Barcelona and Borough Market in London. For sure it warrants a visit there and a video too. Tips from a local: I used to go there on Sunday mornings with my dad and I would eat a pastel de carne with coffee and he would eat fígado com jiló (liver with scarlett eggplant - not sure on the translation for jiló) with a cold beer; we would always eat standing up because it was so packed full that there was no seating available.
Heeey, it's me again. :D As always, hope it is a fun read to whoever is interested. 0:33 Where I live in Brazil, those are called "porongos". They are fruits from the porongueiro, and they do like squases yeah haha. We use them for making certain musical instruments, for example the xequerê (very used in african-related religious rituals), banjos, kalimbas, drums, and our famous berimbau used in capoeira... Also many, many arts and crafts. Where I live, in Rio Grande do Sul, we make a lot of bird houses with them, gourds for carrying drinks and cuias (a cup-like half cut porongo) for drinking chimarrão (a hot drink made with yerba mate, which is commonly planted here and sold to the rest of the country and for which we are instantly recognized by... Alongside our barbecue). There is also the tererê, the cold and sweetened version of chimarrão, probably far easier to find where you are. Give it a try if you want, it's a lovely drink to carry around in Brazil in both versions. Here in RS family and friends go to park in large groups with a cuia and plenty of water (either hot or very cold, depending on the choice of drink of the day), and we sit down on the grass or on a bench as the drink is poured and exchanged from hand to hand while we talk. Long long ago, around 1830, there was an internal war happening in the RS (because of heavy government taxation for many producers) and sharing the chimarrão with people as a gesture of trust because a tradition since then. The lord or lady of the house would prepare it, then drink the first pour whole (to show it was not poisoned), then share from the same cuia and water with the visitors. Offering a chimarrão to family and friends became a widespread habit, and stands strong even now. You literally can't find a single home here without a large thermos specifically for that purpose, and people do drink it daily. It is a powerful metabolic regulator, not unlike green tea. Usually each family has a trademark cuia... It can be simple and traditional, made of a polished porongo. It can be a modern one made with ceramic. It can be decorated with metal and studded with delicate jewels, bought from an actual jewelry store. It can be painted with your favorite soccer team emblem's and colours... There are all kinds. Mine is pyrographed with images that refer to the landscape of RS, most notably our horses, our wine production, and our araucária trees. I always decorate the top the drink with fresh flowers, if I can. It always makes people smile. :) 2:50 Here in Brazil, probably due to our party culture, it's very easy to buy and find commemorative fireworks of all kinds. Some of them are not even for the visual aesthetic, but rather for producing sound. What you heard was an "estalinho", which is **incredibly easy and cheap** to find. Like, you can buy a box with 1000 for as cheap as 40 reais, so it's a very unexpensive way to celebrate. Also, it's also MUCH safer to handle than actual fireworks. Like, you can literally smack one directly on your skin and it doesn't hurt (the common practice is throwing it on the floor so it starts cracking). which makes them an easy choice for most people. People buy them in commemorative days like water. They produce a sequence of cracking and popping sounds every Brazilian instantly recognizes, but as it is not a very common pick in other countries, where fireworks that produce light or smoke are far more common (and people aren't as used to standing out and loud in public in general) so I can understand why the sound would make you jump if you don't know what they are. 😅 9:25 The entirety of the fancy yearly presentation in Rio, in the "Sanbódromo", which we are so internationally famous for in TV, is exactly that. That's the highest point of the competition. It's not just people dancing. Every samba school parades a an entire story woven around a chosen theme, and it influences everything in their presentation from the clothes to the music. Every different section of the parade tells about something different within that theme. There are judges for aspect of it. It's very interesting to watch if have a way to translate the lyrics for the songs written by each school that year, also called "samba-enredo" (lit. samba-plot/scenario/story). They are released in advance to the public, during the "warm up" weeks before the actual show begins, so everyone who might be interested can learn them in advance. It's definitely a sport! XD 10:43 Saint George, also known as George of Cappadocia and George of Lydda, was, according to tradition, a soldier Roman in the army of Emperor Diocletian, venerated as a Christian martyr. Regarded as one of the most prominent military saints, and one of the few venerated by the Catholic, Orthodox **and** Anglican Churches. It is said he was killed in 303 AD. because he would have refused to kill and persecute Christians - a direct order from Diocletian, then Roman Emperor. He is depicted usually as warrior mounted on a horse, wielding a spear before a dragon spitting fire, as a way to encompass his story of resolute integrity before an enemy much more powerful than himself. In Brazil, he's seen widely a protector of the innocent, of those who choose to not fix the wrongs of the world with blind violence, and as someone one prays to give strength when facing our own dragons, so we won't falter or become monsters ourselves due to life's many hardships. Definitely a Saint whom with Brazilians, who often struggle with corruption, and as a people who try to understand and welcome new cultures, respect and identify with. My greatgrandma's home has iron window stoppers fashioned after his helmet, and he was always in her prayers. She was the first woman in her family to decide to move to the city and work, all alone, despite of her parent's protests. Having a small figure of Saint George is pretty much staple in my family so far, due to her history. We wouldn't be here otherwise, and it's good to remind ourselves there's much good we can do, and much we can change in our lives, even when fell so small. Hold out your hear like an unbreakable lance and you shall vanquish a dragon yourself. 13:20 Oh no, I hope it doesn't bruise! Watch out, sidewalks in rainy cities can be very tricky. It's easy to find stuff in need of repair because of water damage, and ofc, the manholes are usually the first to go. 🥺 Hope this makes an interesting read! See you next time.
galera de Realengo marcando presença na área, tem algo de reconfortante em ver os locais em que vivemos sendo mostrado... agora sim eles estão vendo o que é o verdadeiro brasil do povo brasileiro e não somente a casca enfeitada para os turistas e endinheirados
I am very happy to see you guys so interested in the african-brazilian religious tradition. Since you guys mentioned you're coming to Bahia, there are some places in Salvador where you could learn a lot more about this: Fundação Pierre Verger (Pierre was a French photographer who studied the african-brazilian culture deeply, and has a vast work depicting the religious aspect of it); Fundação Casa de Jorge Amado (Jorge Amado was a reowned writer from Bahia, and his work is filled with references regarding the african-brazilian culture and religion as well). Try and visit a terreiro de candomblé - that's some sort of religious temple, and there you will be able to really see how it works and to talk to people who profess that faith. There are many terreiros in Salvador, some of them very famous and with easier access to you guys; just ask a local. Anyways, Salvador was built on African blood; you will find African roots everywhere - from religion to food. Hope you guys have a great trip and can't wait for the videos! Axé!
@@Horus0147 Outro dia na praia, vendendo picolé, conheci uma sueca que mora numa favela da Zona Norte. Depois da Copa do Mundo e Olimpíada vem aumentando essas situações.
Cabaça is also used to create the famous cuia, a sort of cup especially made for chimarrão, a beverage common in the southern part of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina; "yerba mate“
I very much enjoy watching your videos. It attempts to show Brazil in a more positive light than what the "Anglo" media normally does. Madureira is well know because of the "mercadão" but there are a lot nicer districts (bairros) in the north zone than Madureira. Also, the south zone is not for tourists. It is a party of Rio just like the rest of the city. It is simply where the more affluent people live.
Very good! This is the first real vídeo about real ineer Rio the true roots! I'm born in this part of the city In a neighborhood next madureira, Portela represents a lot for us, suburbanos Cariocas. But I have a good suggestion for you, guys, came to Vargem Grande, it is where I leave now, from 20 years already. It's a totally different kind of Rio de Janeiro, whit forests preserved, waterfalls and much nature, more than any part of the city, even many Cariocas knows Vargem Grande enough. I think that you gonna love!
Hi guys! Another nice video, thanks for showing Rio to world! Madureira is nice! I've noticed that you liked to know the Samba Schools there and they are really good place to visit during the rehearsals and to know their backstages! We ve produced a material about it, its in our channel in portuguese, but Ill try to insert some english subtitles and send to you!
You're a brave couple. Good thing you had a native guide with you two. I am from São Paulo and I have been living in Rio for 20 years now. I wouldn't dare to go by myself to most suburbs even if it hasn't a favela. And beware of manholes here because not long ago we had several manhole explosions. Just falling into one would be less traumatic.
Acompanhando o canal de vocês para treinar o listening 🫶🏽 bem natural, dia a dia, som de carro, moto, papagaio, periquito, fogos etc… kkk super desafio.
Come to the south of Brazil, the best part is many mountains waterfalls another view of cities like Rio de Janeiro or são paulo, the south is rich in vegetation a very beautiful place and the serra gaúcha
When you go to Ipanema try the açaí from the restaurant called "New Natural" located at Rua Barão da Torre, 173. They have the best açaí in my opinion. I mean açaí mixed only with guaraná natural like you had from Mega Matte, but i think it's better than mega matte ones.
Onde turistas e paulistanos não vão e é maravilhoso: CTN: Centro de tradições Nordestinas Rapel: viaduto do metrô Sumaré, fazer rapel. Bares e restaurante da Serra: Lugar bom pra beber e comer, bares da Serra da Cantareira. Praia do Tombo/Guarujá: A praia pequena e premiada como a mais limpa do Brasil está a 90km de São Paulo. Praia do Tombo é uma praia de surfistas e pessoas preocupadas com a sustentabilidade. Botecos raiz da Pompéia: Esse bairro colado a vila Madalena e perdizes abriga uma das escolas mais legais do carnaval paulista, a Águia de Ouro. E é um bairro boêmio, artístico e chão de fabrica.
My GOD, ypu are close to my neiborhood when I lived in Rio. I love this area at night cause they have very cool partys. PORTELA is my Samba Schoolll. OMG, I'm almost crying!!! Thnaks for the Images.
Ive found your channel today and i cant say how in love im for you guys! Im Brazilian and its a pleasure see your videos about our country and culture! Come back every time you want! 🌷❤
Guys, a quick heads up, the Boteco World Championship is starting tomorrow at Downtown Shopping Center in Barra da Tijuca, it goes until 12/18, also tomorrow, on 12/8, the famous Alcione will give a concert at 7 PM at Pedra de Guaratiba (entry fee 1kg of non-perishable food), you could head there after visiting nearby Pedra do Telégrafo and the "secret" beaches, just saying
Go have a walk in Rio branco avenue! I'd say it's the carioca's Paulista Avenue, but with less things to do. It's close to cinelandia It's historic and there are a few interesting museums such as the Fine Arts and Biblioteca Nacional
You should go to samba train. It is a samba party in a train. The event is every year At december 2th (nacional samba day). The train departs from central station with many groups inside playing samba and arrive in Oswaldo Cruz (place close to Madureira), where there is a big samba party until next Day early...
I missed my flght to Rio this afternoon, but I am still coming! :D I feel terrible, I am traveling with my brother. I will be landing after midnight on the 9th (so that morning, if I can stay awake, I can still see the game at a bar in Lapa!) wish me luck!!
One thing foreigners don't understand about Rio is: nothing in Rio de Janeiro is made for foreigners. The suburbs have way more robberies, and even at touristic places, criminals aren't there just to target foreigners. Even our touristic economy isn't aimed at foreigners, it's about Brazilians from other states. When I am at a fancy restaurant Ipanema and I hear another language, we are still surprised to see a gringo. The daily life in Zona Sul is purely carioca, medium class and above of course, but it isn't less original than the suburban life. Heck, most people you see in Zona Sul are probably from Zona Norte!
I think one of the most interesting aspects of afro-brazilian religion is it's not exclusive for black brazilians. A lot of white brazilians partake in it, even middle class high ones. There is also Kardecism which is very popular among the middle class.
Cool but all parts of Rio are "real" rio. I also don't live in the touristic south zone, but I don't live in the north zone either, and lifestyle here is vastly different from both, still as real as any of them.
Yes, it is a common theme for foreigners to think there is a kind of show or Rio is made for tourism when reality is: 98% of people you see there, live in Rio state. And way less than 1% come from abroad.
If you guys or any non-Brazilian viewer is curious about the samba school competition you've mentioned, here's an example: ua-cam.com/video/Kv7mAi-SxdI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=OZZNER Each samba school has a lot of different "thematic groups" of school members parading with their costumes and big cars that together represent a bigger story that the samba school is trying to tell each year. These stories are sung by the schools while the school members are parading in what is called a "samba-enredo", basically a samba song being sung repeteadly while the school is on the parade.
Also I don't know if that was clear for you but the "competition" or league doesn't happen at those school, but at a specific "field" or stadium, basically a large "street" with a place for the crowd to watch while the schools parade. It's called "sambodromo". It's a little hard to explain so I'll just refer to the wikipedia page haha en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambadrome_Marqu%C3%AAs_de_Sapuca%C3%AD
You guys should go to Paquetá if you have never been. It is an island without any cars but a lot of history. It is technically part of the center of Rio. You can take the ferry (about 1 hour) or the catamaran (about 1/2 hour) from Praça XV in the center of Rio.
You guys were so excited about the religious part that could visit umbanda :p I'm Brazilian and I'm very curious about it. Since my family is protestant I've never been in any place like that. "This is like Real Madrid or something" YES kkkkk it's serious like that in Rio. There are families with a whole tradition from older generations to the younger generations in a samba school. I know a family like that when it comes to Portela. And another friend whose mom is a seamstress for the school, her father is a composer, she's one of those muses, her brother dances too... When I see some gringos talking about the naked ladies, the colors etc. I think "damn... They don't know how serious this is LOL". This naked muse has an a grade for the school on her shoulders xD she HAS to be flawless.
I am from Rio. Leaving the south zone (Copacabana, Ipanema, Botafogo, etc) and heading north zone will show you the lifestyle of the common avg-low pay grade carioca citizen. You should take a clear sky day to visit the redeemer Crist monument, the sugar loaf cable car, try hang gliding at Pedra Bonita, visit Paquetá island (a small island in the middle of the bay with no cars). Don't miss these, guys.
Caraca faz anos que não vou em madureira haha sdds de passar por lá, tem de tudo. Moro em Realengo, não é tão longe indo de trem mas não tenho oq fazer pra esses lados rs adorei o vídeo!
I can feel your stress when you are in public, it takes away from the fun. Hope your visit in Brazil goes well and uneventful. Do you know that French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are the 5 major languages of the romance language family? Have fun and stay safe!
@@leandrolucato vc não deve ser do Rio né? Kkkk É muito mais fácil ter assaltos em pontos turísticos do que em Madureira kkkkk os ladrões ficam de olho onde tem gringo e em Madureira não é comum ter tantos. 🤷🏾♀️
@@tamisjcloud Madureira tem muito mais assalto que zona sul. Sou do subúrbio da zona oeste, e essa é minha percepção pelo menos. Zona sul é disparado o lugar mais seguro do Rio!
Hi!!! The religious place I go too also has chicken sacrifices but they do it in a way the chicken doesnt suffer só I was told, and the chicken is cooked and serve tô the community
Nice to see tourists in "not tourists place". Brazil has so much more to see than the things they try to sell on postcards and generic Instagrams pages I'm not a specialist on Samba schools, but I think somethings got mixed-up on translation The competition between schools are not indoor, they're in the Sambódromo. Every school decides on a theme for their presentation, prepare costumes and "Carros alegóricos", then they present one by one on the Carnaval. On a later date the judges present their scores. The parade and score presentation areso big and important to samba school fans and neighborhoods, that the special/first division from SP and RJ actually get TV time. The winner usually throws a big party Said that, samba schools do have some intern/indoor competition to determine who's gonna be the next X role on the parade
The african brazilian history is really multicultural and rich and it shows the perspective of the slaved people on the foundation of our country. The divinities you saw are called "orixás" and they represent nature phenomenons and human emotions and dilemmas manifested as human form. "Iemanjá" for exemple is the divinity of the sea and protector of sea life. "Pomba gira", the one u guys saw represents carnal pleasures, the desires and she protects the ones who walk out of the line and the unsubmissive women and so go on... The religions names are called umbanda and candomblé in case u guys want to learn more about it. Also, carnaval is inspired by these religions. There's soooo much more to say about it, but I think that going to first Brazil's Capital in Bahia will teach you a lot more. I'm binge watching your videos guys, thanks for loving our country so much, I'm really excited to see your next adventures!! Enjoy it!
Eu fico pensando qual equivalente aqui em São Paulo mas a real é que as periferias daqui tem uma dinâmica muito diferente... Povo vai muito ou pro parque/sesc mais proximo ou pro Shopping da região... Tem muita região de mercadão com comércio no entorno tipo Lapa, Largo 13, mas é outra experiência... Eu mesmo nem posso julgar porque passei minha adolescência saindo do Campo Limpo pro CCSP (que é meu lugar favorito da cidade até hoje) E bem... se quiserem conhecer é um lugar que só quem mora na cidade vai, nunca vi nenhum video de turista indo pra lá (erro deles haha)

9:25 The entirety of the fancy yearly presentation in Rio, in the "Sanbódromo", which we are so internationally famous for in TV, is exactly that. That's the highest point of the competition. It's not just people dancing. Every samba school parades a an entire story woven around a chosen theme, and it influences everything in their presentation from the clothes to the music. Every different section of the parade tells about something different within that theme. There are judges for aspect of it. It's very interesting to watch if have a way to translate the lyrics for the songs written by each school that year, also called "samba-enredo" (lit. samba-plot/scenario/story). They are released in advance to the public, during the "warm up" weeks before the actual show begins, so everyone who might be interested can learn them in advance. It's definitely a sport! XD
10:43 Saint George, also known as George of Cappadocia and George of Lydda, was, according to tradition, a soldier Roman in the army of Emperor Diocletian, venerated as a Christian martyr. Regarded as one of the most prominent military saints, and one of the few venerated by the Catholic, Orthodox **and** Anglican Churches. It is said he was killed in 303 AD. because he would have refused to kill and persecute Christians - a direct order from Diocletian, then Roman Emperor. He is depicted usually as warrior mounted on a horse, wielding a spear before a dragon spitting fire, as a way to encompass his story of resolute integrity before an enemy much more powerful than himself. In Brazil, he's seen widely a protector of the innocent, of those who choose to not fix the wrongs of the world with blind violence, and as someone one prays to give strength when facing our own dragons, so we won't falter or become monsters ourselves due to life's many hardships. Definitely a Saint whom with Brazilians, who often struggle with corruption, and as a people who try to understand and welcome new cultures, respect and identify with.
My greatgrandma's home has iron window stoppers fashioned after his helmet, and he was always in her prayers. She was the first woman in her family to decide to move to the city and work, all alone, despite of her parent's protests. Having a small figure of Saint George is pretty much staple in my family so far, due to her history. We wouldn't be here otherwise, and it's good to remind ourselves there's much good we can do, and much we can change in our lives, even when fell so small. Hold out your hear like an unbreakable lance and you shall vanquish a dragon yourself.
13:20 Oh no, I hope it doesn't bruise! Watch out, sidewalks in rainy cities can be very tricky. It's easy to find stuff in need of repair because of water damage, and ofc, the manholes are usually the first to go. 🥺
Hope this makes an interesting read! See you next time.
galera de Realengo marcando presença na área, tem algo de reconfortante em ver os locais em que vivemos sendo mostrado... agora sim eles estão vendo o que é o verdadeiro brasil do povo brasileiro e não somente a casca enfeitada para os turistas e endinheirados
I am very happy to see you guys so interested in the african-brazilian religious tradition. Since you guys mentioned you're coming to Bahia, there are some places in Salvador where you could learn a lot more about this: Fundação Pierre Verger (Pierre was a French photographer who studied the african-brazilian culture deeply, and has a vast work depicting the religious aspect of it); Fundação Casa de Jorge Amado (Jorge Amado was a reowned writer from Bahia, and his work is filled with references regarding the african-brazilian culture and religion as well). Try and visit a terreiro de candomblé - that's some sort of religious temple, and there you will be able to really see how it works and to talk to people who profess that faith. There are many terreiros in Salvador, some of them very famous and with easier access to you guys; just ask a local. Anyways, Salvador was built on African blood; you will find African roots everywhere - from religion to food.
Hope you guys have a great trip and can't wait for the videos!
Axé!
Rolezão em Madureira, coração do Subúrbio carioca hahahaha
essa me pegou de surpresa
@@Horus0147 Amigo, já vi gringo no centro de Nova Iguaçu. Assim, a galera que é nômade digital, mora aqui e quer se integrar mais a nossa cultura.
@@Horus0147 Outro dia na praia, vendendo picolé, conheci uma sueca que mora numa favela da Zona Norte. Depois da Copa do Mundo e Olimpíada vem aumentando essas situações.
@@flaviobolado19 é que madureira tá complicado por conta da guerra no campinho, no morro do fubá
@@flaviobolado19 verdade, sou de Nova Iguaçu
This video was short, I want more 🙂
Interesting video. Keep safe, healthy and happy.
Eu rir demais na parte dos fogos de artifício kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Tem dias que até nós ficamos meio 😮 kkk
@@flaviobolado19 verdade kkkkk
Já sabemos identificar ....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Até o Dunga se assustou
O brother local achou que fosse tiro também kkk
Este gringo é bacana ele roda mesmo. Vai eu varios lugares isso sim é conhecer
Legend says that Steve is known as SuperMario of Madureira lol! hahaha
toda carioca falando ingles parece aquele cara do programa de aeroporto kkk
Papo reto kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk é bom demais!
This is the best vlog 😍 you guys are showing so much more then normal vloggers. Thank you for showing the Afro religion impact in Rio never knew this
Cabaça is also used to create the famous cuia, a sort of cup especially made for chimarrão, a beverage common in the southern part of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina; "yerba mate“
A maioria dos gringos não saem da zona sul e Barra da Tijuca, vocês estão de parabéns por mostrar o subúrbio carioca pro mundo. 👋👋
I very much enjoy watching your videos. It attempts to show Brazil in a more positive light than what the "Anglo" media normally does. Madureira is well know because of the "mercadão" but there are a lot nicer districts (bairros) in the north zone than Madureira. Also, the south zone is not for tourists. It is a party of Rio just like the rest of the city. It is simply where the more affluent people live.
Very good! This is the first real vídeo about real ineer Rio the true roots! I'm born in this part of the city In a neighborhood next madureira, Portela represents a lot for us, suburbanos Cariocas. But I have a good suggestion for you, guys, came to Vargem Grande, it is where I leave now, from 20 years already. It's a totally different kind of Rio de Janeiro, whit forests preserved, waterfalls and much nature, more than any part of the city, even many Cariocas knows Vargem Grande enough. I think that you gonna love!
Nossa eu reconheci Madureira no primeiro segundo, deu até saudades de comprar no mercadão
AAAAAAA Madureira ❤I grew up in those neighborhoods. I'm glad more people know about the carioca suburbs.
Steve's always in a good mood for a beer. Thats a Brazilian soul right there lol
Hi guys! Another nice video, thanks for showing Rio to world! Madureira is nice! I've noticed that you liked to know the Samba Schools there and they are really good place to visit during the rehearsals and to know their backstages! We ve produced a material about it, its in our channel in portuguese, but Ill try to insert some english subtitles and send to you!
just uploaded the subtitles in english! Hope you like!
You're a brave couple. Good thing you had a native guide with you two. I am from São Paulo and I have been living in Rio for 20 years now. I wouldn't dare to go by myself to most suburbs even if it hasn't a favela. And beware of manholes here because not long ago we had several manhole explosions. Just falling into one would be less traumatic.
WOW, seems you guys are enjoying Rio a lot.
Go to the "Quinta da Boa Vista" park!
Up
Up
Even if you fall on the sewers, don't spill your beer. That's the spirit.
Acompanhando o canal de vocês para treinar o listening 🫶🏽 bem natural, dia a dia, som de carro, moto, papagaio, periquito, fogos etc… kkk super desafio.
You must go to Ouro Preto and Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais state, awesome food and a lot of history. You´re gonna love it!
Come to the south of Brazil, the best part is many mountains waterfalls another view of cities like Rio de Janeiro or são paulo, the south is rich in vegetation a very beautiful place and the serra gaúcha
When you go to Ipanema try the açaí from the restaurant called "New Natural" located at Rua Barão da Torre, 173. They have the best açaí in my opinion. I mean açaí mixed only with guaraná natural like you had from Mega Matte, but i think it's better than mega matte ones.
Great video full of adventure. Love Portela!
Woo! Thanks for all the support Antonio. We had fun filming this one :)
Onde turistas e paulistanos não vão e é maravilhoso:
CTN: Centro de tradições Nordestinas
Rapel: viaduto do metrô Sumaré, fazer rapel.
Bares e restaurante da Serra: Lugar bom pra beber e comer, bares da Serra da Cantareira.
Praia do Tombo/Guarujá: A praia pequena e premiada como a mais limpa do Brasil está a 90km de São Paulo. Praia do Tombo é uma praia de surfistas e pessoas preocupadas com a sustentabilidade.
Botecos raiz da Pompéia: Esse bairro colado a vila Madalena e perdizes abriga uma das escolas mais legais do carnaval paulista, a Águia de Ouro. E é um bairro boêmio, artístico e chão de fabrica.
O CTN ainda fica bem pertinho do Estádio de São Januário, já que o Steve é Vascaíno como a gente! hehheheheh
@@Gabrielnobre Eu acho que ele está falando do CTN de São Paulo no Limão.
@@adilsonsmem Ah tá...pensei que fosse o do Rio. Eu sou Cearense (nunca morei no RJ) e sei que é perto de São Januário hehehe
Simba Safari
Mercadão de Madureira is reeeeeally nice! So much for the eyes! The north area the is the real cultural hub of the city!
Mds eu passo todo dia e Madureira kkk tão estranho ver eles andando como turistas. Seria legal se tivessem ido no Parque também.
cross the Guanabara Bay by boat and go to Niterói, it's beautiful there
Itacoatiara and Camboinhas
O bairro de madureira e maravilhoso vcs são sensacionais sucesso sempre 👏👍👍
The part where Steve hear the fireworks and gets scared hahaha! Steve you are right, Rio is no joke! Better be wise and safe!
My GOD, ypu are close to my neiborhood when I lived in Rio.
I love this area at night cause they have very cool partys.
PORTELA is my Samba Schoolll.
OMG, I'm almost crying!!!
Thnaks for the Images.
Ive found your channel today and i cant say how in love im for you guys! Im Brazilian and its a pleasure see your videos about our country and culture! Come back every time you want! 🌷❤
Guys, a quick heads up, the Boteco World Championship is starting tomorrow at Downtown Shopping Center in Barra da Tijuca, it goes until 12/18, also tomorrow, on 12/8, the famous Alcione will give a concert at 7 PM at Pedra de Guaratiba (entry fee 1kg of non-perishable food), you could head there after visiting nearby Pedra do Telégrafo and the "secret" beaches, just saying
Go have a walk in Rio branco avenue! I'd say it's the carioca's Paulista Avenue, but with less things to do. It's close to cinelandia
It's historic and there are a few interesting museums such as the Fine Arts and Biblioteca Nacional
Eu acho o centro meio paia pra eles andarem com a câmera...
@@GHDiddyKong De dia de semana é tranquilo na Av. Rio Branco
@@GHDiddyKong po, mas eles foram até pra Madureira kkk
You should go to samba train. It is a samba party in a train. The event is every year At december 2th (nacional samba day). The train departs from central station with many groups inside playing samba and arrive in Oswaldo Cruz (place close to Madureira), where there is a big samba party until next Day early...
Portelaaaaaaaa!
🦅 ❤
My heart rate accelerates with the drum beat!
Mil Desculpas...mas ri muito com o bueiro 🤭🤭🤦♀️🤦♀️
just walking around with the locals is the best way to know a place 😁 I've learned a lot in this video too 💚
I missed my flght to Rio this afternoon, but I am still coming! :D I feel terrible, I am traveling with my brother. I will be landing after midnight on the 9th (so that morning, if I can stay awake, I can still see the game at a bar in Lapa!) wish me luck!!
I made it. But that was so sad!
O Rio é maravilhoso ❤️
One thing foreigners don't understand about Rio is: nothing in Rio de Janeiro is made for foreigners.
The suburbs have way more robberies, and even at touristic places, criminals aren't there just to target foreigners.
Even our touristic economy isn't aimed at foreigners, it's about Brazilians from other states.
When I am at a fancy restaurant Ipanema and I hear another language, we are still surprised to see a gringo.
The daily life in Zona Sul is purely carioca, medium class and above of course, but it isn't less original than the suburban life. Heck, most people you see in Zona Sul are probably from Zona Norte!
Hey! We also made a video of REAL carioca life in Zona Sul
ua-cam.com/video/ZLT5DCvbfg8/v-deo.html
I loved this video! Salve as almas! e Vasco! And Portelaaaa, my surname xD
Cabaça is a gourd. it can be used to store fresh water, grains or become a musical instrument.
I think one of the most interesting aspects of afro-brazilian religion is it's not exclusive for black brazilians. A lot of white brazilians partake in it, even middle class high ones.
There is also Kardecism which is very popular among the middle class.
PORTELA!!!!!!!!!!
"Foi um rio que passou em minha vida" by Paulinho da Viola... It's a samba that honour this Samba School
Muito legal o vídeo, adorei !
2:46 que susto que ele levou !
Wow you guys came back ✌🏻😎✌🏻
Cool but all parts of Rio are "real" rio. I also don't live in the touristic south zone, but I don't live in the north zone either, and lifestyle here is vastly different from both, still as real as any of them.
Yes, it is a common theme for foreigners to think there is a kind of show or Rio is made for tourism when reality is: 98% of people you see there, live in Rio state.
And way less than 1% come from abroad.
Exato, é igual dizer que se não for nós subúrbios e quebradas de nova York não foi em nova York... 😐
If you guys or any non-Brazilian viewer is curious about the samba school competition you've mentioned, here's an example:
ua-cam.com/video/Kv7mAi-SxdI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=OZZNER
Each samba school has a lot of different "thematic groups" of school members parading with their costumes and big cars that together represent a bigger story that the samba school is trying to tell each year. These stories are sung by the schools while the school members are parading in what is called a "samba-enredo", basically a samba song being sung repeteadly while the school is on the parade.
Also I don't know if that was clear for you but the "competition" or league doesn't happen at those school, but at a specific "field" or stadium, basically a large "street" with a place for the crowd to watch while the schools parade. It's called "sambodromo". It's a little hard to explain so I'll just refer to the wikipedia page haha en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambadrome_Marqu%C3%AAs_de_Sapuca%C3%AD
Muito top o vídeo , adorei o vídeo!
You guys should go to Paquetá if you have never been. It is an island without any cars but a lot of history. It is technically part of the center of Rio. You can take the ferry (about 1 hour) or the catamaran (about 1/2 hour) from Praça XV in the center of Rio.
This is where I grew up. Honestly, I miss the crowds. I feel nostalgic
Que bom ver falando da minha religião com respeito amei
You guys should Go to Bangu and Campo Grande, Brazilian west zone.
Será?
You guys were so excited about the religious part that could visit umbanda :p
I'm Brazilian and I'm very curious about it. Since my family is protestant I've never been in any place like that.
"This is like Real Madrid or something"
YES kkkkk it's serious like that in Rio.
There are families with a whole tradition from older generations to the younger generations in a samba school.
I know a family like that when it comes to Portela. And another friend whose mom is a seamstress for the school, her father is a composer, she's one of those muses, her brother dances too...
When I see some gringos talking about the naked ladies, the colors etc. I think "damn... They don't know how serious this is LOL". This naked muse has an a grade for the school on her shoulders xD she HAS to be flawless.
I am from Rio. Leaving the south zone (Copacabana, Ipanema, Botafogo, etc) and heading north zone will show you the lifestyle of the common avg-low pay grade carioca citizen. You should take a clear sky day to visit the redeemer Crist monument, the sugar loaf cable car, try hang gliding at Pedra Bonita, visit Paquetá island (a small island in the middle of the bay with no cars). Don't miss these, guys.
Enjoy life with you family 🥰
Caraca faz anos que não vou em madureira haha sdds de passar por lá, tem de tudo. Moro em Realengo, não é tão longe indo de trem mas não tenho oq fazer pra esses lados rs adorei o vídeo!
Ele se assustando com os fogos kkkkk
He is scared of the Fireworks kkk
Não sabia que ela era da Indonésia que interessante, achei que ela era canadense
"I tought the channel was over and so was I" hahaha
I can feel your stress when you are in public, it takes away from the fun.
Hope your visit in Brazil goes well and uneventful.
Do you know that French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are the 5 major languages of the romance language family?
Have fun and stay safe!
Unfamiliar places holding a camera in Rio... I think he'll feel safer in smaller cities of Minas Gerais or in Santa Catarina
@@leandrolucato Andar com uma câmera no subúrbio do Rio não é inseguro como na zona sul da cidade onde é turístico.
Yes, even I as a native of Rio get stressed walking in such a noisy place full of people moving at a fast pace
@@leandrolucato vc não deve ser do Rio né? Kkkk É muito mais fácil ter assaltos em pontos turísticos do que em Madureira kkkkk os ladrões ficam de olho onde tem gringo e em Madureira não é comum ter tantos. 🤷🏾♀️
@@tamisjcloud Madureira tem muito mais assalto que zona sul.
Sou do subúrbio da zona oeste, e essa é minha percepção pelo menos.
Zona sul é disparado o lugar mais seguro do Rio!
Os caras foram em Realengo com o Defante no Catar... Imperdoável, mané!
Primeira vez em madureira, e já tá brincando de tiros ou fogos.
O rio de janeiro continua lindo.
Adorei o vídeo
Carnaval em Madureira... vocês tinham de ir a um samba na Portela, no Cacique de Ramos, ou na Feira das Iabás em madureira e comer até explodir!
Hi!!! The religious place I go too also has chicken sacrifices but they do it in a way the chicken doesnt suffer só I was told, and the chicken is cooked and serve tô the community
When you guys will be going to Bahia State? Love your videos, super fun, always the best part of my day ❤❤
Cabaça is a fruit, when it is dried it can be used for making some musical instruments like Xequerê, kind of bottles, bowl, arts and so on!
Eu amo esse vídeo
Watch your right, watch your left, watch your back...and watch your STEP 😂😂
Nice to see tourists in "not tourists place". Brazil has so much more to see than the things they try to sell on postcards and generic Instagrams pages
I'm not a specialist on Samba schools, but I think somethings got mixed-up on translation
The competition between schools are not indoor, they're in the Sambódromo. Every school decides on a theme for their presentation, prepare costumes and "Carros alegóricos", then they present one by one on the Carnaval. On a later date the judges present their scores. The parade and score presentation areso big and important to samba school fans and neighborhoods, that the special/first division from SP and RJ actually get TV time. The winner usually throws a big party
Said that, samba schools do have some intern/indoor competition to determine who's gonna be the next X role on the parade
Adorei este vídeo muito interessante
LMAO you almost invaded the ninja turtles house.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those pesky manhole covers!!!!
In Rio they tend to go flying sometimes because of builtup pressure in the sewer system
Not far from me... Cool...I am from Germany, living here for 12 years.
MADUREIRA, PORTELA, SHOW..👍❤️🖤
Vi até um portelense 🥰🥰🥰🥰
MEU DEUS! ELES FORAM EM MADUREIRA HAHAHAH SOCORROOOO
Boa noite casal simpático 🇧🇷
quase explorou o esgoto de madureira rs... faltou o parque madureira.
7:26 " q que e isso gente?" HAHAHAH
The african brazilian history is really multicultural and rich and it shows the perspective of the slaved people on the foundation of our country.
The divinities you saw are called "orixás" and they represent nature phenomenons and human emotions and dilemmas manifested as human form.
"Iemanjá" for exemple is the divinity of the sea and protector of sea life. "Pomba gira", the one u guys saw represents carnal pleasures, the desires and she protects the ones who walk out of the line and the unsubmissive women and so go on...
The religions names are called umbanda and candomblé in case u guys want to learn more about it.
Also, carnaval is inspired by these religions.
There's soooo much more to say about it, but I think that going to first Brazil's Capital in Bahia will teach you a lot more.
I'm binge watching your videos guys, thanks for loving our country so much, I'm really excited to see your next adventures!! Enjoy it!
Eu fico pensando qual equivalente aqui em São Paulo mas a real é que as periferias daqui tem uma dinâmica muito diferente... Povo vai muito ou pro parque/sesc mais proximo ou pro Shopping da região... Tem muita região de mercadão com comércio no entorno tipo Lapa, Largo 13, mas é outra experiência...
Eu mesmo nem posso julgar porque passei minha adolescência saindo do Campo Limpo pro CCSP (que é meu lugar favorito da cidade até hoje)
E bem... se quiserem conhecer é um lugar que só quem mora na cidade vai, nunca vi nenhum video de turista indo pra lá (erro deles haha)
