Creative sales people

No one is more creative than a Brazilian peddler or beach vendor. They sing, wear costumes, interpret characters, conceive unconventional ways of presenting their products. Anything goes to promote a sale.

Here you will find several examples from around the country, such as the dancing family, all dressed in green and yellow, that sells pamonha, a corn sweet, in the streets of Salvador; the cheese vendor in drag that dispenses his charms in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte; and the ice cream vendor/singer of Cabo Frio, Rio state.
