so, i'm not very sure why this was sent to me, but since we're talking novelas, here's a little shout out to a nobreza do amor, globo's newest 6 o'clock novela.
i've seen people praising the costumes and the references to benin culture through the oba and his spearman, the warriors and the queen idia neck pendant. i personally don't know much about african countries' cultures to expand on it, but overall, of what i've seen, it all seems pretty positive. it's overall super gorgeous, and if you're able to, it's definitely a novela i would recommend watching. the cast is also absolutely stellar, so acting wise, we're so well served.
honestly though, during carnaval, people were also very impressed by the representation of african cultures in brasil. it is estimated that brasil has the largest afro-descent population outside of africa, so it's a no-brainer that so much of their culture has become part of ours as well.
