Field Journal Vol. 1
We have almost survived a full month in Brazil. Life in the land of samba and futebol is extremely taxing, and my blog entries have so far been few and far between. Therefore, I´m going to reach straight into my travel journal, full of a month's worth of ethnographic notes from the field...
Day 3.
Brazil is a savage land indeed. We have established a precarious base camp on Avenida Paulista, but are far from secure. Yesterday, I went on a scouting trip with a few of the men to search for provisions. After hours of braving intense midday Latin American heat and charting miles of dense concrete foliage through the urban monstrosity that is Sao Paulo, we stumbled upon an incredible discovery.
Clad in loinclothes and tribal paint, a group of people apparently forgotten by time seem to still reside in the middle of Sao Paulo, a city reputed as the modern financial hub of South America. These primitive creatures appear to come from the darkest depths of the Africa. Outfitted with spears and other tribal weaponry, we assumed that they were on a hunting expedition and decided to keep our distance. We stayed out of harms way, but I, being the fearless explorer that I am, had to get a closer look. As I crept towards this primitive clan, they began a peculiar ritual. Stomping their feet to a savagely delightful drum cadence, they began marching towards me. Slight grunts and mumbles grew to a haunting crescendo that climaxed to create a full scale tribal war chant. As the scene grew increasingly dangerous, I disappared into the underbrush, making a quick escape and rejoining the scouting expedition. But readers, do not fret, I did in fact get close enough to take a single picture of these primitive, yet enchanting, people who have managed to keep the traditions of darkest Africa alive amid the chaos of a modern metropolis...
Note: These "enchanting savages" were actually hired to take part in a commercial for a Brazilian bank. Interestingly enough, only the the black actors were clad in "traditional" attire. The white actors all wore everyday business attire. Racial democracy indeed...
