Caipira
Caipira is a Brazilian name for residents of mainly agricultural areas in the interior of Brazil , in particular the rural areas of the Brazilian southeast and midwest and the state of Paraná .
Without a negative evaluation , the expression is used to describe rural culture (= cultura caipira). Caipira is also used derogatory and describes a simple, uneducated person. In this case, caipira roughly corresponds to the meaning of hillbilly . Since the 1980s / 90s, the term caipira has emerged more and more as a self- term used with pride by the rural population.
Caipira is also a dialect spoken by Caipira (dialeto caipira).
At the three June festivals ( Festas Juninas ) that fall in the Brazilian winter , Santo Antônio , São Pedro and São João , it is customary to dress up as caipiras - as city people imagine them to be.
At the big agricultural exhibitions, as well as at the big events of agricultural sports such as Rodeio , Apartação or Barris , which are also very popular with city dwellers because of their evening events, the city dwellers then dress like "real" caipiras.
In 1990 there was the so-called final caipira in football at the São Paulo state championship . It was so named because no team from any of the metropolises São Paulo , Sorocaba , Campinas , Ribeirão Preto , Presidente Prudente , Bauru , Marília , Araçatuba and Santos took part in the final . The finalists were CA Bragantino from the city of Bragança Paulista with 130,000 inhabitants and Grêmio Esportivo Novorizontino from the small town of Novo Horizonte with 30,000 inhabitants .
