This evening will bring to light why Salvador is described as the most African city in the Western Hemisphere. The influences of African traditions in Salvador can be best seen and appreciated in two areas: Food and Music. Night has fallen over the capital of Brazil's most historic state and presents the city in a new dress. After a dinner-buffet featuring a wide variety of snacks from the Bahian cuisine we will have the opportunity to "look into the soul" of Brazil by experiencing its music and dances. Brazilian music draws heavily on its African roots, a fusion with pulsating African rhythms and its dance forms incorporate features that have been brought to Brazil by African slaves. Most of Bahia's traditional dances are art forms not found in any other geographic region outside Brazil, like Dança dos Orixás, Dança de Xangô, Maculêlê, Puxada-de-Rede, Capoeira, Samba-de-Roda and Carnival Axé.
