Comment by: Visitor (1/13/2007 11:52:06 AM) I did not know before now that Salvador´s carnival is the most attractive and inviting in Brazil. I have been going to Rio´s carnival for the past 11 years. My next point of call for the carnival this year will be Salvador. I gather there is also a great carnival in Olinda, do you know anything about that? Jeffery Howards. USA

Comment: Hi Mark, enjoyed your writing, keep up the good work.
After my recent visit to your adopted country, it was
obvious once again, that we "first people of the earth"
must communicate, educate and plan ways for all of us
around the world to get out of the barrel. It's taking too
long. The phrase "each one teach one" needs to spread
faster and with more intensity. What say ye? -- Son-ya

Comment: The story as it is!!!!!!!
This is exactly what I felt and saw when I was there too.
I
like the vocabulary use that make you get the feel as it really is.
Most reports covering these events always potray a utopic euphoric
level that makes you wonder with the reality you experience.....
Lovely precise report.....
P.S:
What about pictures form Ile-Aiye's parade? These are blocos showing
people looking close to white as possible.I know they(Brazilians)
advocate "Democracia Racial.." but I would like to see pictures of the
Black guys just as we know that the main blocos discriminate against
the blacks...

Comment: I
love this website and Mark's articles on Bahia. I travelled to Bahia
with Ache Lytle and 11 other fellow African Americans in 2003. I always
wanted to visit Bahia after reading an article in Essence magazine when
I was a teenager titled "Bahia:Africa In The Americas". After 25 years
I finally realized my dream of visiting Bahia and Bahia was everything
that I dreamed it would be plus more. I thoroughly enjoy Mark's
articles on Bahia and the photos are great as well. I spent yesterday
just going through the photos as they recaptured the energy,love and
passion that is Bahia. I love dialouging with African Americans who
love and have travelled to Bahia as I've spent time on this website
called Brazzil.com
but that website is filled with disgrunted white people who HATE
Brazil,it's people and culture but continue to live and visit Brazil. I
advise readers on this site not to visit Brazzil.com because posters there have nothing positive nor interesting to say about Brazil.

That is great that you are educating African Americans about Bahia because
Bahia has so many gifts to offer African Americans. You know I went to Bahia in
2003 with Ache Lytle who has also posted on your website. She is an awesome
young African American sistah and really knows Bahia. I will be forever
grateful to Ache for taking me on my first but not my last trip to Bahia. I will
be retiring in 9 years and really would like to make Bahia my home so I am
looking forward to a website where knowledgeable African Americans can share
their experiences living and travelling to Bahia. I kind of want to get a feel
for how it will be to actually live in Bahia and I know that I must travel to
Bahia a couple more times to get more knowledgeable about the place. Do you know
if there is a large African American community in Bahia?
Ache!

Comment: Hey Mark,
I
think this is you, it's Shamyra! You have truly captured the spirit of
Bahia. Your pictures are wonderful and heartfelt. My soul is still in
Salvador and I miss it dearly. I will return soon.
My website is
on it's way and I was wondering if I could use a few of you pictures.
They are much more interesting than the one's I have. I also would
like to publish your article on my site when it is up and running.
Your words and photos speak volumes and I hope you will share.
A gente se fala, viu!
Beijos,
Shamyra

Comment: I
wish that you will always keep the freshness of your writing style. You
don't write like a journalist (i.e. always looking for THE "news" and
unfortunately rarely taking the time to research and check sources
throughout) nor like an academic (i.e. often a non-participative
observer). You write from your experience, from what you see, what you
feel, what you try to understand, and from your heart, and I am sure
that more than one this honesty has obliged you to review some of your
judgments or opinions, which is always a very healthy process! It
doesn't mean rejecting or denying what you may think or believe, it
means evolving into it and your own evolution certainly leads the
reader onto the same path. I hope some readers have felt that and I
wish to you that mags editors will appreciate this too and commission
you more articles!!! Last, your photos touch the reader because you
don't search for the best angle or this incredible light effect;
rather, you show real people, in
dividuals of all shapes and kinds, and through your eye it is with them that the reader interact too.
Comment by: Visitor (1/4/2007 5:40:09 PM) Bahia is a beautiful and spiritually peaceful place but it also has its negative sides like any where in the world. Thanks for the good work Mark.
Joyces Alex.
