The Brazilian Quarter of Lagos is a place of living history. I wish the government did more to preserve the houses and landmarks there.

Phranciz Dann you’re right. I spent time there with my late grandma. The Britto ancestral home. I feel really blessed and grateful that my ancestor, late Benedicto Ariba Britto (captured in 1778 AD) returned to lagos island from Bahia in 18 century. I can only imagine what it feels like to be tracing one’s root...

Acarajé look like we have here and carnival is very similar. Curious is some surname ," Gomez and Martinez" are Spanish surnames , "Gomes" in Portuguese surname is with S.

That's because they were written in archaic Portuguese. Portuguese suffered a great deal of ortographic changes Evandro ;).

Lagos é do Brasil ❤

There's something somehow strange or differing probably in content or concept in this documentary report. Over there in Brazil, emphasis is on African culture maily Yoruba and Angolan cultures predominantly. In a Brazilian State called Bahia which is a near 75% Black populated and mainly of Yoruba descent with their deeply rooted culture which also boasts of A Nigerian House, what should be predominat there, Yoruba culture, religion or architecture? And here, which architecture is considered predominant, Brazilian, of which they are part and parcel of, or not? I didn't see anything different or extraordinary in the house as shown. It's either they dissociated themselves completely from the woes of slavery and assumed their original Yoruba identity and forget the slavery and her baggage of horrors or they return to Brazil with its colonial architecture. Or is it a Consulate?🤨🤔

Gostei das imagens do carnaval, lindas meninas. ( I LIKE THE IMAGES OF GIRLS DANCING IN CARNIVAL ) - Brazil.

I just don't understand why when the Brazilians arrived back in Lagos didn't shed their slave name and religion....and WHY on Earth would you choose to preserve that culture laden in blood, death, and misery??? It seems the Igbo had to fight a a battle in Salvador just to gain independence to leave the Portuguese

Portuguese colonization was slightly different from other European nations. Brazil has always been mixed culture country. They have African, European and native Brazilian heritage. It wouldn't surprise me if those afro-Brazilians that came to Nigeria, had portuguese ancestry in their blood line...

You speak like a child. They didn't shed their name for the same reason you're name is Winston Williams. Obviously, they had absorbed elements of a different culture much, which was now a part of their identity. Their name did not take away from their allegiance to their origin or their contributions.
