CHINA DAILY From samba beats to language workshops, Shanghai University's first China-Brazil Cultural Festival turned its campus into a lively crossroads of rhythm, culture, and creativity. Guan Keyang, a graduate student in music education, participated in a guitar workshop led by Brazilian musician Mario Ulloa, reinforcing her impression of Brazil's rich musical landscape. "The workshops had a liberating nature, such as using stones as props and performing barefoot," said Liu Xinrui, a graduate student in fine arts. "Interacting directly with someone from Brazil allows us to truly connect with their culture," she said.
