Culture of Brazil

There is no Brazilian culture perfectly homogeneous, but rather a mosaic of different cultural strands that form together the culture of Brazil. Naturally, after more than three centuries of Portuguese colonization, the culture of Brazil is mostly from root Lusitanian. It is precisely this cultural heritage lusa that compose the unit of Brazil: Brazilian people despite being an ethnic mosaic, all speak the same language (Portuguese) and almost all are Christians, with a large predominance of Catholics. This linguistic and religious equality is a rare occurrence for a country of great size like Brazil, especially in comparison with the countries of the Old World.
 Although it is a country of Portuguese colonization, other ethnic groups have left profound influences on national culture, especially indigenous peoples, Africans, Italians and Germans.
