all right welcome to one of the suburbs of Rio De Janeiro everybody we have left the silt Zone which
is the Zone with Copacabana and Crystal Redeemer and all of the main tourist attractions we have
come to the north Zone and we are hoping to see maybe some more natural karaoke life because the
silk zone is mostly for tourists uh our lovely friend dunga lives here we are in madubera uh
what's this stuff cabasa I think I think it's kabasa I don't know for for music no I don't
know I think it's for rituals oh rituals I think I'm not sure about Fair Okay so we've got lots
to learn today uh we're going to go to a big market and we'll see more maybe this is like
you said inspired by traditional African religion uh okay prepare for an adventure
as Yvonne and go Ivana plays The Bongo all right Adventure Starts Now Let's Go [Music]
I kind of feel like home to your rights weird but
good morning traditional or very historic uh Samba school and look at the place so nice
so nice guys
look along
my gear yeah in the Northeast they put the children watch two of this
one's aside one side and they and the tight and they cross the river
we've just okay as part of a ritual yeah no no it's not a ritual oh just
to transport water in him to to can't cross the boys oh I understand yeah
so multi-purpose it does many things
you can do a instrument
it's music it's flotation device and it's uh virtual yeah yeah wow good and what's
it made from it's made from squash you know or some kind of what's it made from
it it's like a pumpkin like a squash yeah yeah
so far so good
what the heck was that
I'm scared the crap out of myself I think there's
only fireworks but I thought oh my gosh the last Vlog I ever made
just fireworks no yeah I got fireworks the channel was over and so was I oh my gosh
[Music]
okay so meeting some very friendly people in the biggest Market in maderera as well
as really getting excited for our uh trip to Bahia because so many of the things that are
being sold here are from the traditional African religion which is so incredibly visual some of the
sculptures a lot of the dresses and the clothing are so beautiful that uh coming from a place
where I'm coming from which is a place of total ignorance because I don't know anything about
this stuff it's so visual and it's so intriguing it's really making me excited to go to Bahia
[Music]
like she she shows the wrong things but showing that wrong wrong things sometimes are good things
uh you could be wrong she brings the sensuality represents the sensuality he's an entity
it's like a goddess or it's like an entity like a no entity like a spirit like a spirit okay [Music]
reality
it's like an angel in the here between us okay and she represents the good part of the bad things so
like sexuality or Yeah because sometimes smoking is okay or drinking or something interesting okay
very interesting very interesting so to be clear everybody there is a little bit of everything in
this market from flower shops to bookstores to Pet Shops to a seafood market there really
is everything under the sun in here I'm just focusing on the African religion stuff because
it's so interesting to me but to be clear you can buy bread and school supplies and you can fight
vegan Goods that make a cake whatever you're into it really is a massive
Market even a Bob's Burgers which is like the Brazilian McDonald's cool
I tell you what we just did one lap of the top floor and now we're back at the front door and uh
nice guy okay one lap and I'm tired because it's it's crowded it's uh
[Music]
I'm kind of hungry maybe Palm heart pastel I took a lot out
of me I learned so much I'm like I'm tired yeah I feel like I ran a race
check it out everybody even outside the market keeps going on and it seems to go on forever and
ever this is a very familiar sight for Ivana and I so many countries we've been to more peppers
have these kind of markets and they're really a nice tourist experience because there's so much
action and there's so much interaction of locals buy-in stuff everyone's getting ready for the
World Cup game there's a nice yellow and green Mohawk uh so we wanted to show you this side of
Rio because maybe most people are not showing it in their Vlogs everybody knows Copacabana it's
world famous for a reason but there's also the uh suburbs where the day-to-day life of karaoke's
is happening and I'm not kidding you this Market goes Forever This Market absolutely goes forever
hey check it out even a market on the footpath the market on the bridge going over the railway tracks
I never saw that before it's not a Street Market
it's a bridge market now the million dollar question is
well to be clear we are in a place that I think most tourists are not going like ever
which I'm guessing potentially makes it more safe because less people here are trying to
camera snatch from tourists I do stand out with my GoPro as I'm walking through the market here
so to be clear my friend dunga did tell me to be aware and be alert and look over my shoulder
and be smart Ivana and I have been traveling for years and years I think we can handle it
but overall I would say I feel pretty safe I don't have any bad experiences to report so far
and uh so far so good I feel like I'm learning a lot about what life is really like in real
living here rather than coming as a tourist so big thanks to my friend dunga for showing me
his home neighborhood and his Home Market uh just right big shout out to dunga three shops
three beers for 10 days in Copacabana 1 15 or 12 at least three draft beers for
10 Hayes yeah sounds good sounds good sounds good
okay guys so we've come to a school of Samba this is very traditional one in Rio right it's
like Mount Sierra Empire Imperial mountains Royal Mountain or something like this now you
guys might not know this but this is believable when I first learned this there's actually a
league of Samba competition so you can imagine the band is up here playing everybody's down
here dancing and they've organized a specific song and a specific dance to go with the song
and they compete against the other schools so you can think of this like a sports team this
is like Real Madrid or something and if the samba School loses too many times in a row
uh they will actually get relegated to Second Division there are like
rankings first place second place third place and an overall trophy as well as
so this team is back in first division yeah so they've done a good job dancing they've presented
very well and they're back in the first division very traditional do you use in portella we will
go to Portola to the next one okay you think is the the house of Samba yeah okay okay it's very
traditional I think some people in the comments might say no my hometown was born in downtown I
was born there is more there's more Roots Roots yeah Roots Roots Roots there you have it guys
so uh you can think of a dancer here uh like an athlete competing and trying to win and stay in
top division so they can get the trophy and not be relegated many gangsters like some George a
lot they say they protect the gangsters so it's they that's what people said okay like son George
a lot okay so quite often in Rio you'll see St George around and it's been adopted a bit by this
suburbs of Rio have a huge party in Sun in Saint George day huge it's link is real the city of Rio
have a huge party so we're learning a lot about traditional life of the karaoke one
much cheaper beer much better prices uh to Big markets lots of action and traditional African
religion three Samba and four St George this is my crash course of the real life of a karaoke
with Sandra here red t-shirts of Saint George it's very popular
here in suburbs suburbs any real oh not the city but in suburbs is more
this is like a mix of like yeah because you're just like from a Catholic yeah
but I forget the name in the African religion the name forgive me sure no problem the comments
will help you I don't I don't know so much about I don't know nothing but
I appreciate it I'm learning a lot
I think we're like the first tourists here true
yeah you're right
Frozen
oil
I'm like a bong
oh my gosh
I just fell in the sewer I know oh my God okay okay I'm okay I'm okay I'm a little bit dirty
but I'm okay yeah you always your food's okay [Music] it was looking okay but I stepped on
it and it spun you guys fixing it out yeah he will not hold you again thank you next
time next time you visit the underground oh my gosh everybody asked me it's real safe I
said you gotta watch out for the sewers in Rio man next time you visit the other ground of Rio
oh my gosh watch where you're going kiddo oh my God
the full lamp
yo this area reminds me so much of where I live in Jakarta oh yeah the hustle and bustle
fruit sellers everywhere yeah people selling T-shirts merchandise everything on the street
and I kind of feel like home to your right weird but
good morning so we've come to another Samba school which is actually bigger
than the other one and it's got a big outdoor section here I think the stage and the dance
floor is in there uh the symbol of this one must be the eagle it's called portella
so you can imagine portella blue and white versus Imperial the green and white
a big battle where rather than cheer on your sports team you cheer on your summer school by
dancing and partying the best it's like who can make the best party it really speaks to
Brazil's uh very Beach Vibes very party friendly atmosphere these are the trophies so it looks
like portella is a very decorated Samba School they've got trophy upon trophy upon trophy uh
must be very traditional or very historic uh Samba School and look at the place so nice
so nice guys everyone in Brazil is so nice uh amazing you can imagine dancing here and
trying to get your summer school to win a gold medal or a trophy Ivana
show me your Samba show me your Samba come on come on come on show me your Samba
music not bad not bad and so as it turns out the people at portella actually were inviting
us to go watch the Brazil World Cup match in the stadium we have another have all the other
planes yeah yeah we have other plans but it sort of fits in with my idea that Samba is
like a sport you sort of choose your sports team and you choose your Samba school and
you brute them on and if you guys remember my black shirt that says voshko it actually
saysco which is my uh Rio team and so you literally pick your uh summer school and
pick your team this is vashko and portella but it's a flamingo portella so depending on which
football team you cheat for and which summer school YouTube for you can make some alliances
maybe you cheer for two different football teams both forzella yeah exactly
this is a unique type of acai with milk powder mixed with new flour uh the name is
very good
because usually the powdered milk on top this one
mixed I like it very refreshing on a hot day shopping and acai best
yeah
wow good kilo restaurant even has fresh pecania coming off the skewer oh Ivana
okay okay
oh yeah
all right there you have it everybody no better way to end the day than a kilo restaurant in
that particular place had live music as well as the chuhasco Fresh Off The Stick so absolutely
incredible did today with dunga big shout out to Duna as you can see we're back down in the
South zone now we had a full day of exploring I am feeling more like a karaoke than ever
ivana's getting her exercise in burning all those kilos Bye Bye Under Honda all right
