How has Brazil's Portuguese heritage influenced it's culture?

The Brazilians, take great pride in their Portuguese ancestry. The Portuguese brought with them a wealth of traditions themselves: the Celtic base (the Lusitani, celtici, coni, brigantes, Calleci) added with Germanic (the sueves, the visigoths, the vandals) and Mediterranean elements from Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Jews and Arabs.

With the portuguese Brazil received it's Western, European element that still largelly dominate it, if not genetically, at least culturally.

Genetically speaking most white elements in Brazilian DNA come from Portugal but these are proebably slightly smaller than African and Native American contributions (about 50% of Brazilian do not consider themselves as white but even those who have substantial non European Heritage).

Portugal gave Brazil, the laws of the land (essentially from the Romans), the Catholic religion and most importantly its language. Poets and writes like Camoes, Antonio Vieira, Pessoa, Saramago are as dear in Brazil as in Portugal. Portuguese art and architecture in Brazil's Colonial town is as spectacular or perhaps even more so that in the Metropolis. Look at the beauty of salvador's 17th and 18th century Barroque churches.
