	A Short History of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil
		De Souza arrived in Bahia on the 29th of March, in 1549, and he went to work building a capital for Brazil and a place for himself to live (or for the governor-general to live and administrate from, rather).
		Bahia's fortune was in the making, but it was to be a product of the sweat and blood of people who spent their lives producing and not partaking -- enslaved Africans and their descendents.
		In Bahia, "abadá" had assumed its present linguistic form by the early 19th century, but its association with capoeira and Carnival still lay a century in the future.

		Cruz is Isabella Oliveira, who from her childhood in Bahia has needed to be on top, so to speak.
		Cruz is not only beautiful but heroic in the face of the filmmakers' mediocrity.
		And the combination of Cruz, her hot peppers, the aroma of her dishes, and the music behind the film, is almost, though not quite, enough to save things.
