Extensions of African Cultures in Brazil

The exploration of Brazil's cultural heritage reveals a deep connection to West and Central African cultures, as examined by ethnomusicologist Gerhard Kubik. His extensive research in Brazil highlights the influence of African phenomena in language, music, religion, and social organization, offering fresh perspectives on the formation of new cultures across the Atlantic. Kubik's engaging writing makes this work a pivotal contribution to the study of Afro-Latin and African diaspora cultures, establishing it as a key reference for future inquiries in this field.
