## Augsburg’s connections with Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world

### Music and movement

Augsburg’s percussion scene offers a way to hear differences within Brazilian music. [Sambamania’s introduction for newcomers](https://www.sambamania.de/mitmachen/) distinguishes maracatu from Recife in Pernambuco, samba batucada from Rio de Janeiro and bloco afro from Salvador in Bahia. Its preparation group introduces instruments and playing techniques, with instruments available for learning, at the Trommelcampus near the Gaswerk in Augsburg. Readers interested in joining can use that page to enquire about the next intake. An optional listening project is to place those three cities on a map and compare the rhythms associated with each.

[Abadá Capoeira Augsburg](https://www.capoeira-augsburg.de/) advertises ongoing training for beginners and experienced participants, including children and adults, in Gubener Straße. The club’s [dated news archive](https://www.capoeira-augsburg.de/aktuelles/) identifies capoeira as Afro-Brazilian and records a direct exchange: its 29 April 2026 report describes a workshop and batizado led by Mestre Bode, who travelled from Florianópolis in Brazil. This gives the local activity a documented connection to practitioners in Brazil, alongside a practical route for asking about introductory training.

Angolan dance also appears in Augsburg’s cultural programming. A [31 March 2026 announcement from the district of Swabia](https://www.bezirk-schwaben.de/presse/pressemeldungen/bayerisch-angolanischer-tanzabend) invited the public to a Bavarian-Angolan dance evening scheduled for 11 April 2026 at rimo DanceArt in Augsburg, organised with Kidance. The announcement explains semba’s Angolan roots and kizomba’s development under its influence. This is a useful counterpoint to the Brazilian percussion groups: the Portuguese-speaking world includes distinct African musical traditions as well as those of Brazil.

### Art and literature

The city’s art collections provide a historical starting point. The [Augsburg museums’ January-June 2025 magazine, page 23](https://kunstsammlungen-museen.augsburg.de/fileadmin/Downloads/Magazine/KSA_Magazin_02_web.pdf), documents *Abenteuer Brasilien*, an exhibition listed at the Grafisches Kabinett until 9 February 2025. It explains that Augsburg artist Johann Moritz Rugendas joined Langsdorff’s Brazil expedition in 1822 as a draughtsman and painter. The exhibition combined Brazil-related works from Augsburg’s collections and private loans with an original copy of his 1835 *Malerische Reise in Brasilien*. For optional self-study, investigate his landscapes and practise describing a scene in Portuguese while considering the perspective of a nineteenth-century European visitor.

Literature provides another route into the language. For World Portuguese Language Day, the University of Augsburg [announced a free bilingual reading of Brazilian literary classics for 7 May 2026](https://www.uni-augsburg.de/de/fakultaet/philhist/professuren/romanistik/romanische-literaturwissenschaft-spanisch-portugiesisch/aktuell/brasilianische-klassiker-7-mai-2026/), with musical accompaniment. The collaboration involved the Brazilian Consulate General in Munich, ISLA, Instituto Guimarães Rosa and Lusofonia. This dated programme is a starting point for investigating the university’s Portuguese literature activities.

### Community life and regional exchange

In Göggingen, the city’s [8 August 2025 Peace Festival programme](https://friedensfest-augsburg.de/programm/kleine-friedenstafel-in-goeggingen/) listed a free small peace banquet organised by Mulheres pela Paz - Frauen für Frieden at the old town hall. The programme welcomed people of all religions and countries to share food, listed Portuguese among its languages, and advertised classical and modern Brazilian instrumental music by Três ou mais toques do brazil. Its combination of a neighbourhood gathering, poetry, exhibitions and music shows how Brazilian cultural activity can take part in Augsburg’s wider civic life.

There is also a connection at the wider church-region level. A [June 2018 report on the partnership agreement](https://www.sonntagsblatt.de/artikel/bayern/bayern-und-brasilien-erste-partnerschaft-zwischen-kirchenkreisen) documents the signing between the Augsburg and Swabia Lutheran church region and Brazil’s Sínodo Norte Catarinense at a synod in Videira, Santa Catarina. This concerns the church region rather than an Augsburg municipal twinning. The account offers a concrete reading topic about community cooperation and travel between Swabia and southern Brazil.
