5. Culture at Rio De Janeiro Music and dancing are obviously popular in Brazil, but it’s not all samba and bossa nova. Pagode, a slower form of samba, is very popular in Rio. Hip-hop has also gained a large following in Rio. In addition, no mention of Brazil goes too far without bringing up the famous Churrasco, the all-you-can-eat meat smorgasbord, or the Caipirinha, the “national” Brazilian drink. Though both of these are definitely something you want to try, moderation is best for both indulgences.
