Manuel Carneiro de Souza Bandeira Filho was born in Rua da Ventura, what is now Joaquim Nabuco (Pernambuco). His father worked for a railway company; therefore his family had to move various times between the states of Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. At young age, TB was diagnosed, and Manuel had to go to Switzerland for treatment. One year later, he published his first verses. Manuel studied architecture and arts in São Paulo. During the twenties of the past century, he regularly published poetry bundles and prose, sometimes financed by himself. His fiftieth birthday was celebrated abundantly, and one year later, he was appointed as a professor. In 1940, he was admitted to the Brazilian Academy of Literature. During the fifties, more works of Manuel were published, which included some translated works of Shakespeare and Cocteau. In the same period he traveled in Europe. Manuel died in 1968.

1982 Closure of the dam of the Itaipu hydro-electric power station.
Itaipu, at the border between Paraguay en Brazil and at a stone’s throw of the famous waterfalls of Foz do Iguaçu, was a prestigious project. Until the inauguration of the Three Gorges Dam in China, Itaipu was the largest in the world. A nature park, that was similar to that of Foz do Iguaçu, was sacrificed. Remains of that park are exhibited in the Itaipu ecological center. In 1978, a start was made with the opening of a canal, in order to construct the dam. In 1982, that lake – with a size of 1350 square kilometers – was filled within fourteen days only. In 1984, the hydro-electric power station was inaugurated. At present, the station generates about 90 percent of the Paraguayan and less than 25 percent of the Brazilian energy.

Dia do Frevo
(Frevo). The frevo is a traditional dance in the northeast of Brazil, and has its origin in Pernambuco. During carnival, you are not able to escape frevo in cities like Recife and Olinda. It is a dance with a fast rhythm and acrobatic movements. The origin of the word ‘frevo’ (swirling, boiling) already indicates that this dance makes the crowd to dance too. The dance has its origins from (Spanish) marching music, and the so-called maxixe, at the end of the 19th century. The first notification of frevo in a Brazilian newspaper took place in 1907. Since the thirties of the past century, Frevo has evolved into three different styles:
(1) Frevo-de-Rua: The most common and most unique frevo style. The music is not accompanied by some lyrics, but is purely based upon dancing.
(2) Frevo-Canção: The sung frevo. The hymn of the carnival in Recife is in this frevo style.
(3) Frevo-de-Bloco: The frevo is represented by a bloco, a group. They play and dance through the streets. Behind this bloco, a huge dancing crowd.
As already mentioned, the frevo dance is an acrobatic dance, generally accompanied with a little and colorful umbrella. The origin of the acrobatic elements (according to some sources, more than 120!) is to be found in the capoeira dance. The umbrella was to replace weapons in this capoeira dance, when it was not allowed for the dances to use weapons.
Frevo:
“Efervecência, agitação, confusão, rebuliço; apertão nas reuniões de grande massa popular no seu vai-e-vem em direções opostas como pelo Carnaval”

BRAZILIAN HISTORY:
1844 Recognition of the independence of Paraguay by the Brazilian government.
Although Paraguay became independent already in 1811, only 33 years later Brazil recognized its neighbor. Earlier in 1844, Carlos Antônio Lopez succeeded dictator José Gaspar Rodriguez, who died in France, as president of Paraguay. In 1862, he was succeeded by his son, Francisco Solano Lopez. His support to the independence struggles of Uruguay, ultimately became his Waterloos, and with him a great part of the Paraguayan people lost their lives during the war of Paraguay against the Triple Alliance (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay).

Dia Nacional do Dinheiro
(Money). The origin of this day is not known, but follows one day after the foundation of the first bank in Brazil: Banco do Brasil, which was founded on 12 October 1808. The arrival of the Portuguese Royal Family also brought a large sum of money to Brazil. In the past century, Brazil changed the national currency various times.

Manuel Carneiro de Souza Bandeira Filho was born in Rua da Ventura, what is now Joaquim Nabuco (Pernambuco). His father worked for a railway company; therefore his family had to move various times between the states of Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. At young age, TB was diagnosed, and Manuel had to go to Switzerland for treatment. One year later, he published his first verses. Manuel studied architecture and arts in São Paulo. During the twenties of the past century, he regularly published poetry bundles and prose, sometimes financed by himself. His fiftieth birthday was celebrated abundantly, and one year later, he was appointed as a professor. In 1940, he was admitted to the Brazilian Academy of Literature. During the fifties, more works of Manuel were published, which included some translated works of Shakespeare and Cocteau. In the same period he traveled in Europe. Manuel died in 1968.

1982 Closure of the dam of the Itaipu hydro-electric power station.
Itaipu, at the border between Paraguay en Brazil and at a stone’s throw of the famous waterfalls of Foz do Iguaçu, was a prestigious project. Until the inauguration of the Three Gorges Dam in China, Itaipu was the largest in the world. A nature park, that was similar to that of Foz do Iguaçu, was sacrificed. Remains of that park are exhibited in the Itaipu ecological center. In 1978, a start was made with the opening of a canal, in order to construct the dam. In 1982, that lake – with a size of 1350 square kilometers – was filled within fourteen days only. In 1984, the hydro-electric power station was inaugurated. At present, the station generates about 90 percent of the Paraguayan and less than 25 percent of the Brazilian energy.

1978 Ratification of the decree that made an end to the infamous AI-5 on 1 January 1979.
The decree was ratified by President Geisel. AI5 (Ato Institucional Número Cinco) was introduced in 1968, at the time of the military dictatorship. IT was one of the most rigid decrees, which inactivated habeas corpus: anyone could be arrested without the right of defense. In addition, the congress was dissolved. The laws, carried out by senators, congressmen and Councillors, became invalid. Political reunions were banned, and the president was allowed to declare martial law, and censure became more rigid.

Dia do Frevo
(Frevo). The frevo is a traditional dance in the northeast of Brazil, and has its origin in Pernambuco. During carnival, you are not able to escape frevo in cities like Recife and Olinda. It is a dance with a fast rhythm and acrobatic movements. The origin of the word ‘frevo’ (swirling, boiling) already indicates that this dance makes the crowd to dance too. The dance has its origins from (Spanish) marching music, and the so-called maxixe, at the end of the 19th century. The first notification of frevo in a Brazilian newspaper took place in 1907. Since the thirties of the past century, Frevo has evolved into three different styles:
(1) Frevo-de-Rua: The most common and most unique frevo style. The music is not accompanied by some lyrics, but is purely based upon dancing.
(2) Frevo-Canção: The sung frevo. The hymn of the carnival in Recife is in this frevo style.
(3) Frevo-de-Bloco: The frevo is represented by a bloco, a group. They play and dance through the streets. Behind this bloco, a huge dancing crowd.
As already mentioned, the frevo dance is an acrobatic dance, generally accompanied with a little and colorful umbrella. The origin of the acrobatic elements (according to some sources, more than 120!) is to be found in the capoeira dance. The umbrella was to replace weapons in this capoeira dance, when it was not allowed for the dances to use weapons.
Frevo:
“Efervecência, agitação, confusão, rebuliço; apertão nas reuniões de grande massa popular no seu vai-e-vem em direções opostas como pelo Carnaval”

BRAZILIAN HISTORY:
1844 Recognition of the independence of Paraguay by the Brazilian government.
Although Paraguay became independent already in 1811, only 33 years later Brazil recognized its neighbor. Earlier in 1844, Carlos Antônio Lopez succeeded dictator José Gaspar Rodriguez, who died in France, as president of Paraguay. In 1862, he was succeeded by his son, Francisco Solano Lopez. His support to the independence struggles of Uruguay, ultimately became his Waterloos, and with him a great part of the Paraguayan people lost their lives during the war of Paraguay against the Triple Alliance (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay).
