Afro-Brazilian is the term used to racially categorise Brazilian citizens who are black or part-black.

Brazil has the largest population of black origin outside of Africa [ [http://www.newint.org/issue226/black.htm Newint.org] ] with 6.9% classyfing themselves as black ("negro") and 42.6% as brown ("pardo"), a broad classification that encompasses Brazilians of mixed race ancestry, mulattos, and assimilated indigenous people ("caboclos"), making the total of 49.5%.

The vast majority of Brazilians have some African ancestry (86%, according to a genetic study). However, because the intensive mixing with Europeans and Native Indians, Brazilians with African ancestors may or may not show any trace of black physiognomy.
