♪ >> 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 three 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. i like them a lot.

what's magical about this cocktail is the first taste. it's like, i don't know man. it's a little too something. and then like that second sip, it's like, aw, that's kinda good. then the third sip, it's -- where are my pants? fortunately food in these parts tends to be, shall we say, hearty. for instance, a delightful meal of fried meat with plenty of absorbent starch product, like farofa. the perfect accompaniment to many, many caipirinhas. oh, excellent. obrigado. now we're talking. it's a tough town for vegetarians. oh, chorizo, good. and i'll have six more of these please. people are staring at me. they're saying, "look at that -- heathen hump of an american, how much he's eating."

just line 'em up my friend. thank you. obrigado. yeah. so nice walking around here. the audio components are really amazing. there's always drums somewhere. [ drumming ]

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. ♪ ♪
