Bahiana
(Shown above) A legendary 500 year-old Brazilian
love story has a Portuguese sailor shipwrecked on the beach at Bahia and taken in by the Tupinambas,
whose women wore elaborate headdresses of colorful bird feathers but whose
men had a reputation for killing
outsiders. But they grew to so trust and respect the sailor, who they
called Caramuru, that their chief honored him with his daughter, Paraguassu. In gratitude for his survival
and the gift of his beautiful wife, the sailor built Bahia's
first church, where his beloved Paraguassu was eventually laid to rest.
