A serious mix of cultures, ethnicity and colour populates this huge country, with European, African, Amerindian and every imaginable combination of these races. Although as high as half the population is black, there are communities of Spaniards, Italians, Germans and Lebanese Arabs living in harmony in the country.
The music, which is the heartbeat of Rio, is mainly due to the influence of the slaves brought over from Angola or Mozambique in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The world famous 'Carnival' is directly due to influence of the black population. The huge holiday resort that is Rio has an overall population of ten million who go about their daily affairs under the benign gaze of the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer, standing high above the city on the back of the Corcovado Mountain.
Equally famous are the beaches of Rio. Who has not heard of the Copacabana or Ipanema beaches? They must be the most renowned sands in the world. There are other attractions in Rio, such as the Botanical Gardens, parks and the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Gloria do Outeria, a beautiful little colonial church.
