Afro-Brazilian or African Brazilian is the term used to racially categorise Brazilian citizens who are black or part-black, yet it is rarely used in Brazil.
Brazil has the largest population of black origin outside of Africa with 5.4% blacks and 39.9% of mixed race or color (Pardo). The largest concentration of Afro-Brazilians is in the state of Bahia where over 80% of the people are Afro-Brazilians.
