Its connections with Portugal and Brazil tell different stories, from royal family history to contemporary cinema and participatory music. ### Portugal in the city's history and food The Stadtmuseum's exhibition *Allianzen: Düsseldorf/Lissabon* ran from 7 September 2023 to 7 January 2024. Its [exhibition guide](https://www.duesseldorf.de/fileadmin/Amt41-206/2023/Allianzen_Duesseldorf_Lissabon/41-206_Allianzen_Guide_web_bf.pdf) traces ties between Portugal and the Lower Rhine through dynastic marriages. One particularly local connection is Marie Sophie, born at Schloss Benrath in 1666, who married King Pedro II of Portugal in 1687. Although the exhibition has ended, the downloadable guide remains a way to investigate how a Düsseldorf place name connects with Portuguese history. A more everyday connection appears in Flingern. Clube Português dates its [opening in Düsseldorf](https://www.clube-portugues.de/ueber-uns/) to 13 November 2004. Its [description of the restaurant](https://www.clube-portugues.de/clube/) foregrounds Portuguese fish dishes, grilled meat and a traditional Portuguese lunch. This offers a food vocabulary exercise rooted in Portugal: choose a few dish descriptions and investigate their ingredients, then compare the wording with a Brazilian recipe. Keep the country and regional context attached to the food rather than treating Portuguese cuisine as interchangeable with Brazilian cooking. ### Brazilian voices on screen The [21st Cinebrasil programme in Düsseldorf](https://filmkunstkinos.de/specials/cinebrasil-brasilianisches-filmfestival-in-duesseldorf-2026/) announces screenings at Bambi Kino for 27-29 November 2026, in Portuguese with English subtitles. The selection includes the comedy *Velhos Bandidos*, the samba documentary *O Samba que Mora Aqui* and the drama-thriller *Precisamos Falar*. These announced dates offer a specific listening opportunity: after watching a film, write a short account of a character, a scene or a question it raises. Subtitles can help with the story while you listen for how people address one another. ### Music as movement and shared practice At Erkrather Straße 30, tanzhaus nrw's [Brazilian dance overview](https://tanzhaus-nrw.de/en/academy/brazilian-dance-styles) describes samba's African influences and varied regional forms, including group dancing at the venue. It also profiles São Paulo-born instructor Carlinhos Batá. Reading that account before exploring a samba recording helps place the music in a broader cultural history than a single carnival image. Capoeira adds a different relationship between movement and sound. Düsseldorf's [Biriba Brasil association](https://www.biriba-brasil-duesseldorf.com/) explains how singing and the berimbau, atabaque and pandeiro shape the rhythm of the *roda*, the circle in which capoeira is played. An optional listening task is to identify those instruments and note how a song responds to the action in the circle. Forró appears in the city's festival record too. VierLinden Open-Air's [Festa Junina listing for 28 June 2026](https://www.vierlinden-openair.de/?tribe_events=festa-junina-brasilianische-forro-party) advertised a celebration organised by Forró Düss’Bom, with forró music and a *quadrilha* open to all ages. That past programme provides a concrete starting point for exploring Brazilian June festivities and the vocabulary of collective dancing; it does not establish a date for a future edition. ## Lesson formats and levels Private lessons and adult groups support beginner, intermediate and advanced learners.
