Wingate University: Faculty Led Program: The Music of Brazil - Beauty and Diversity

Contemporary Brazil owes its vibrant cultural life to more than the tiny mother country Portugal.  International flavors are seen – and heard – in a wide variety of ways throughout the country and its inhabitants. Brazil has given the world its own unique syntheses of tastes and styles, and these are seen particularly through its music – from the bossa nova of Carlos Jabim (The Girl from Ipanema) to the samba of Carnival, to the classical music of Heitor Villa Lobos.  Come experience the most visited city in the Southern Hemisphere – Rio de Janeiro! Ride to the top of Corcovado, be inspired by the statue of Christ the Redeemer, taste the culinary delights of a genuine churrascaria, and listen…listen to the vibrancy that makes Rio unlike any other city in the world. NOTE: This program has an additional fee of $185 to cover required visa costs
