Getting to Know Historic Rio

Ok ok, so then there was a regency (as mentioned in the last video) and then in time, D.Pedro II was fit to rule and become emperor. Right? NOT QUITE. Actually, the triple regency thing was sort of a fail and so it was substituted by a regency comprised and only one regent, and this is precisely what we're gonna talk about in this video; the regency of DIOGO ANTONIO FEIJÓ. (did I mention that he was also a priest?) And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here's the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Same as in Britain as well as I believe in other countries, in Brazil, in which a Monarchy ruled from 1822 to 1889 with Brazil already being an independent country (and I have already made a video about Brazil's independence and posted it here, we also has a regency era in Brazil. Though I think that out regency era was far less romantic and far more turbulent, especially when compared to Britain's regency era when all those wonderful romantic novels came to be. And this video is precisely about how the regency was established in the first place, and composed by three regents at first.

All I can say is that this video might make a lot of people go into existential crisis mode. And that is because this theme makes the official story of Brazil's discovery a load of complete and utter fake news. Sorry, there's no easy or polite way of saying this. So be sure to take your polite/politically correct gloves off because we're gonna unravel this very polemic bit of Brazilian History.

I think that after the previous videos about the history of Rio and Brazil, in which I have been saying over and over that a series of bad events led to the downfall of D.Pedro I and ultimately to a very final decision on his part, you pretty much saw this one coming. The very final decision was, as the title suggests, to abdicate as emperor of Brazil in favour of his son, future emperor, D.Pedro II. And on this video I'll tell you precisely how all of this happened. SPOILERALERT: Father and son didn't even get to properly say goodbye to each other and would never see each other again. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Trully, while watching this video, you'll really get the feeling that LOVE IS IN THE AIR, because the place which I'll be showing you here really is the kind of place in which you feel that as soon as you get through the gates. And no wonder, because several love stories have happened and are still happening there, THE PARQUE LAGE. Also an excellent place for taking pictures for various social medias and who knows, someone might see your picture and be so entranced that you get a date out of it. ;) And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here's the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Every year tourists who decide to come to Rio (or even to Brazil in general) in the month of June (or even July and August in some cases), and are surprised to find that yes, there are parties at this time of year but they are not Carnaval parties and there isn't any sign of samba or anyting like it being played and danced at those parties. Instead, people are dancing quadrill and dressed as farmers. I am of course talking about THE BRAZILIAN JUNE PARTY, which I will tell you all about in this very video! And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here's the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Tomorrow is the date in which we celebrate the proclamation of the Brazilian Republic (and in future videos I will talk about this, I promise), but also, on November 19th, it's Flag Day in Brazil. So in honour of Flag Day, I bring you this video which even though I recorded it in the the month of september still fits the flag day theme, about six of the main historic Flags of Brazil. SPOILERALERT: IT WASN'T ALWAYS GREEN AND YELLOW. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

This is less well known of the three oficial anthems of Brazil. The Brazilian flag song Well, the first two stanzas of it to be more exact. Just a preview of my upcoming video about Historic Flags of Brazil which I'll be uploading for you next week. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

HALOWEEN IS UPON US! So naturally I'm bringing you yet another spooky story from Rio, this time envolving and actual haunted castle WHICH YOU CAN VISIT YOURSELFS WHEN YOU'RE HERE. Of course you can also go to the arco do telles, which was the place where the spooky story of the previous video, but for those of you who like actual haunted houses, here's a perfect one for you. muahahahahah And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

And let the spooky season actually comence with this very spooky and scary story about a woman you bathed in and drank blood of unbaptized children so she could stay young forever, but this wasn't in Transilvania, it was right here in Rio during colonial times. As a matter of fact, Brazil is full to the brim with urban legends and ghosts stories. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here's the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Yes my friends, this was yet another ocassion of ghostly participations on my videos. Have I mentioned that ghosts are quite show offs? rs By the way, this is also the preview of the video about the witch of colonial Rio which is coming up next week, it is the spooky season afterall, so stay tuned. Also, for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

And so begins the very spooky month of october, so what could be more appropriate then to post short videos of occasions in which ghosts haunted my videos. he he he In this particular case, if you'd like to watch the full video, it had already been posted here and it's the video about the other inconfidentes besides Tiradentes. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Many people don't know this (I still don't understand why), but Brazil also participated in World War II by liberating the Italian front. Therefore, every year on May 8th, we also celebrate V-E day at the World War II memorial right here in Rio. And stay tuned because I will of course make videos about this in the future, which is only fitting because my grandpa himself was also part of the Brazilian Expeditionary force. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

It's safe to say that the whole world knows about the infamous night of broken glass which happened in Germany in 1938, but did you know that the Brazil, and to be even more specific, the city of Rio, had it's own version of this nearly a century before in 1831? Yes my friends, and in this video I'll tell you about exactly this, and as a matter a fact, here we actually had AN ENTIRE WEEK OF BROKEN GLASS. And as usual, for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Yes my friends, you read correctly, this video is about a very sad part of Brazil's history which also happened right here in Rio de Janeiro: The death of our beloved empress Leopoldine. There were of course physical causes that led to her death but it's safe to say that she died of a broken heart. And on this video I'll tell you all about how it happened. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here's the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

And continuing with videos about the history of Rio (and consequently Brazil since Rio was the capital of Brazil for 200+ years), after a country becomes independent, it's time to make the laws of this country, afterall, wouldn't make sense to be an independent country but still rely on Portuguese law. So for this reason, I bring you this video explaining all about how the first (of many) Brazilian constitution was made. THERE WAS EVEN PHYSICAL AGGRESSION IN THE ASSEMBLY! And as usual, for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

I don't know how many of you know this, especially since last year it was very much highlighted since it was the 200th anniversary of this Brazilian historic event, but once again (as happens every year) INDEPENDENCE DAY IS UPON US. It will be two days from now to be exact. So what could be more appropriate then for me to bring you this video speaking about exactly how our independence from Portugal went down in 1822 and also to correct a few wrong assumptions that y'all might still have in this sense, such as that the history of Brazil (or any country for that matter) began with it's independence, ABSOLUTELY NOT! And on this very video I'll also explain exactly how historically wrong it is to say such a ludicrous thing. Also, as promised in the video, here is the link of another video I found right here on rumble with the actual anthem of Brazil's independence, enjoy: https://rumble.com/vgfliz-brazilian-patriotic-song-hino-da-independncia-vocal.html In case you want to the see the translation of said anthem, here it is: Now you can, Motherland's children See your gentle mother glad; Now the freedom dawned In Brazil's horizon. Brave Brazilian people! Let it go, the servant fear: The homeland shall be free Or we shall die for Brazil. The chains that the cunning ruse Of perfidy was forging to us... There was a mightier hand: Brazil deride them. Brave Brazilian people! Let it go, the servant fear: The homeland shall be free Or we shall die for Brazil. Don't you fear the impious phalanxes That show a hostile face; Your chests, your arms Are the walls of Brazil. Brave Brazilian people! Let it go, the servant fear: The homeland shall be free Or we shall die for Brazil. Congratulations, oh Brazilian, [For] now, with manly dignity, Among the nations of the universe, Brazilian one shines. Brave Brazilian people! Let it go, the servant fear: The homeland shall be free Or we shall die for Brazil. https://lyricstranslate.com And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here's the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

This, my friends, is what one of the Historic Churches, namely the Church of São Francisco de Paula, in the downtown area of Rio, looks like inside (and on the thumbnail, you can see what it looks like on the outside) Are you curious and wanna see it personally along with several other historic churches? Well here is the link of my website so you can book a tour with me and do just that: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Remember the short video I uploaded a while ago with just the exact words said by D.João VI as an oath when he was proclaimed King of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brasil and the Algarve? (those who haven't seen it yet, here is the link for ya https://rumble.com/v2u6nlq-d.joo-the-sixths-proclamation-oath.html ) Well now I give you the full video explaining in detail how the THREE DAYS OF PARTYING AND CEREMONIES went down. Yes, believe it or not, the ceremonies and celebrations were a three day long deal and it wasn't carnaval rs. And as usual, for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

I have already spoken about the Inconfidence of Minas, AKA the prologue of Brasil's independence, in a previous video and naturally on that video I mentioned the rebels who were responsible for this. But on this video I'm bringing you in detail the stories of each one of the most famous inconfidents (except for Tiradentes because I also have already mentioned him in a previous video). Spoiler alert: There's even a ghost story in the midst of this. ;) And as usual, for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

I've already mentioned him in several past videos which I have already uploaded in this channel, so probably by now you're wondering who was he after all. So on this video, I present to y'all, the man, the legend, possibly the best but definately the most foward thinking governor the state of Rio ever had: GOMES FREIRE DE ANDRADE. And as usual in this channel, for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

Yes, I KNOW. Whenever you think of Rio, one of the first things, if not the first thing that comes to your minds is the intoxicating rhythm of samba. But what if I told you that there are at least five other musical genres which were born in Rio and which have nothing whatsoever to do with samba? This, my friends, is precisely what I'm going to talk about in this video. So bring your dancing shoes because we're gonna go through A LOT of history involving music and dancing. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here's the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

From a lake which was used by slaves to dump excrement to the very first public park in Brazil. Yes my friends, if I had to sum up the history of this place in Rio, it would be exactly this. How did this come to be you ask? Well, watch the video and I'll tell you all about as well as guide you in terms of how to get there when you decide to come to Rio, after I am a tour guide. Speaking of which, here's my website for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

When you come to Rio, you'll see a lot of what we call "weekend athletes" and one of their go to places is precisely this park/beach which I'll be showing you in this video and of course which has a lot of history. Beginning with the name Flamengo itself which is the portuguese word for Flemish. But what do the people of Flanders have to do with the history of Rio, you ask? Watch this video and you'll find out. And for those of you who'd like to book a tour with me, here is the link of my website: https://www.turismohistoricocarioques.com.br/en-us/

This I believe will be one of the most practically useful, if not THE MOST PRACTICALLY usefull that yall will see in this channel. If you're past the fear of coming to Rio but are afraid or just simply confused when it comes to taking the subway in Rio, THIS IS THE VIDEO FOR YOU. Here, I'm gonna break down everything you need to know about how to use the subway in Rio, which I assure you, unlike in other cities or even in other countries, IS THE SAFEST CHOICE IN TERMS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. Quick note though: This video was recorded in 2021, back then face masks were mandatory for using the subway. Nowadays though, they are no longer mandatory.
