>> anthony: in bahia, you find yourself in the heart of the heart of brazil. where the magic comes .from if you wanna get there, just follow the sound of the drums. this is salvador de bahia. city of 3 million people. first capital of brazil. the wellspring for everything african and spicy. where things seem to just sway and move constantly. it's a place where everybody is sexy. where even the ugly people are hot. unsurprisingly, this is where artists come from. african spiritualism, occult magic, candomblé, capoeira. caipirinha? and caipirinhas. did i mention caipirinhas? they do those here too. i like them.

♪ >> anthony: it is useful to know that of over 12 million africans dragged, ripped, and kidnapped from their homelands, nearly 5 million ended up in brazil. 1.5 million of them in bahia alone. pelourinho became the locus of a vast infrastructure of plantations and the slave trade that powered them. making this city and northeastern brazil, the most opulent in the new world. pelourinho, it's worth pointing out, gets its name from the
11:10 pm
whipping post. a hundred years after slavery was outlawed in brazil, pelourinho, had been forgotten. but of course, the neighborhood had its charms. if you were an artist, a musician, a writer, you could afford to live here. cheap rent for long time locals, or shiny new art galleries and hipster cafes. we know which way the current of history runs.

11:14 pm
magical place. >> carlos: it's a magical place. but also for us, for me and for him, here is a place where many people, black people have suffered. that is still one kind of comment of this old history here, you know? >> anthony: so what is the real pelourinho? >> carlos: giving life for this. we are the real pelourinho.
