In Brazil, February 2 is the celebration of Yemanjá, patron orixa/orisha of the sea in brazilian Candomblé and Ubanda, which are syncretic religions born from african religiosities brought by slaves and catholicism.




















Some hymns are chanted in a mix of portuguese and yorubá, an african language that managed to secretly survive among slaves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm70MNFi17Q

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KBo9M9EFws

Iemanjá is also a common theme in general brazilian culture, going much further than the religious symbol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uKXTkang3I

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH1fpTmU-lw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IalnmZis2lw

this one is an absolute classic, you'd be hard pressed to find a brazilian who doesn't immediately recognize it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drGewMyo00A


there's also SEXY IEMANJÁ, most known as the theme song of a hit tv soap opera

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3oIYE9P3AA


anyway i'll stop here i've gone way overboard already lol

afrobrazilian traditions are very diverse and rich, and while similar to other afro traditions in latin america i feel ours is very unique

Yawar Fiesta is a peruvian/quechua twist on classical spanish bullfighting. Instead of the torero (or any horse mounted assistants) doing the killing blow, the bull is weakened and killed by a Condor. The bull is the symbolic representation of the gamonal (local colonial spanish backed authority), while the Condor represents the mestizo or indigenous comunero.

Sad quechua Huayno song (in a way, this is like an indigenous southern Perú blues):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7swfKnLu_Sc
Lyrics translated to spanish:

¿Dónde esta tu mama y tu papa, huerfanito?
Mi mamá se encuentra en el corazón de la tierra, huerfanito;
y mi papá se encuentra en un pueblo ajeno, huerfanito.

Algunos tienen a sus padres, huerfanito,
mientras que yo andare en pueblos ajenos, huerfanito,
sin nada y sin nadie, huerfanito.

Si yo tuviera a mis padres, huerfanito,
no estaría llorando ahora, huerfanito,
tampoco estaría sufriendo, huerfanito.

Ay, cuando me entierren en el cementerio, huerfanito,
no tendré a mis padres para que lloren por mí,
no tendré a mis padres para que me extrañen.

Well, I always have more pictures:



I went here Tuesday, this is near San Felipe. Basically, I wanted to pick somewhere new, a friend of mine went for a walk, so I just went on Google Maps, and found a rural road with some fields around it. Santiago is nice that way: there are a lot places you can get a 30-90 minute bus trip and be out in some open farm country.
Those are grapes out there. Since this wasn't a named Vineyard with some fancy tourist center, it means that these grapes are going into boxed wine, or they are table grapes, or raisin grapes.

Also recently in Chile:

This might seem like a non-story (rich bastard abuses a supermarket employee), but it apparently became big enough to be a story because it reflects a few things about Chile: the passive aggressiveness, and the always simmering class problems.

Still coming from the US, its nice when a story is "man is verbally abusive in a supermarket" and not "man shoots up supermarket"

Spotted out west of the Pudahuel airport, like where it is technically still Santiago but its actually a bunch of fields:



Basically, this is conspiracy theory stuff about slave trading and organ trading. Which I am sure happens in parts of South America, and even in Santiago...but it being written on bedsheets tied to fences somewhere in a dusty field outside the airport makes me think it is more an example of mental illness than anything.

Who are your favorite visual artists from your country(ies)? Doesn't matter if historical or contemporary.

let's start with the most famous brazilian modernist, Tarsila do Amaral



self-portrait, 1922



Urutu, 1928, representing a urutu snake egg hatching.



Abaporu, 1928, perhaps the most famous brazilian painting ever. The title joins the tupi words aba, meaning "man", and poru, eating. Man-eating, referring to the fact that Brazil's art scene had to cannibalize european styles and native influences, eating them up and mixing it all together in it's metabolism. This kickstarted the "Anthropophagic" movement in brazilian art, which extended way beyond the visual arts, becoming our first home-grown art movement.



Setting sun, 1929, Tarsila painted lots of abstract landscapes, this one is inspired in a rock formation from her farm in São Paulo.



Workers, 1933. Tarsila had a social critique period, this painting is inspired in the end of a factory shift and the masses flowing out, heading home. Every face is an individual, but they merge together in the crowd.



Second class, 1933. Inspired in a second class wagon's arrival to station, with shoeless poor families.



Spring, 1948. A dreamscape, in her later paintings she refined the slew of different styles she used, playing with perspective, realism and religious iconography,



Seamstresses, 1950.



Village, 1952



Macunaíma's baptism, 1956, illustrating a special edition of Macunaíma, a book by the writer Mário de Andrade, her friend, released in 1928 in the wake of the anthropophagic movement she helped set off.
