The culture of Brazil was formed and formes till now. Influence of Indians and Africans remains indisputable. The language of tupi-guarani is widely widespread, in 16 century priest-missionaries shifted on it a catechism and used for the conduct of the activity in the north of Brazil. Many words in the modern Brazilian language have the Indian origin. Influence of the Indian culture especially notedly in Amazonia.

Tracks of the African culture are especially noticeable on the coast of Brazil, since Rio de Janeiro. The state of Bayya is especially selected in that behalf, here the African cuisine is widespread with the dishes of type of vatapa: from a rice flour, coconut oil, fishes and shrimps, pepper and seasonings. The African cults are widespread in north off-shore cities. African influence is noticeable in Brazilian popular music, especially in rhythmic samba.
