Only a small part of its great diversity of manifestations had come to Brazil, mainly due to preconception during slave trade.

During colonial period most Brazilian population had African origin and their architecture became hegemonic in popular housing, but with Indian and Portuguese influence. This mechanism resulted in a great adaptation capacity.
