What does Ella mean in Portuguese?

Sorry, but I'm Brazilian and never heard it as a word. Ella derives from the french word "elle", which means "she" and is a tipical termination to female names, like Danielle/Daniella/Daniela, female equivalents for Daniel.

Here we use the termination "ela" (one L), like in Manuela (female form of the name Manuel).

But, we have a LOT of imigrants and persons that love foreigner names, so there is a lot of Ashley, Giovanni, Rebecca and Miriam down here.

P.S.: in very old times, writers used to wrote "ela" with two L's, but I'm talking about centuries back.

What does feijao de raiz mean in English?

"Feijão de Raiz" is the name of a Brazilian culture festival.

It celebrates many arts such as samba, the root ("raiz") of Brazilian music, and also great food, such as feijoada, the national dish of Brazil, made of beans ("feijão").

So the expression "bean of the root" does not really mean anything by itself, it's just a funny assembly of words.

The festival seems to be a unique event that happened in May 2011.

I can't see any reference to it for 2012.
