A caboclo (; from Tupi ''kaa'boc'', "deriving from the white") or caboco is a person of a mixed Brazilian Indian and European ancestry. In Brazil, a ''caboclo'' is a specific type of ''mestiço'' as is the mulato, a person of a mixed Afro-Brazilian and European ancestry.
The term ''caboclo'' (which in Candomblé is usually pronounced without the ''l'', as ''caboco'') is said to come from the Tupi word ''kari'boka'', meaning 'deriving from the white'. Thus its primary meaning is mestizo, 'a person of an Indian and European descent.' But it may also be used to refer to any Brazilian Indian." The term Indian should not be confused with people originating from South Asia.
There was a wave of ''caboclos'' created during the time of rubber soldiers, when young, primarily white Brazilian men were taken from North-Eastern Brazil and brought into the Amazonian interior to harvest rubber. The men were never granted permission to leave, and thus married locally.
Interestingly, the traditional ''caboclo'' populations in the Amazon region of Brazil are noted as voracious eaters of the ''açaí'' palm fruit. In a study, ''açaí'' palm was described as the most important plant species because the fruit makes up such a major component of diet (up to 42% of the total food intake by weight) and is economically valuable in the region (Murrieta et al., 1999).
The "Day of the Caboclo" (''Dia do Caboclo''), on June 24, is an official date of the State of Amazonas.
The term ''caboco'' is also used as an alternate term for the Orishas of the Candomblé religion. The caboclo is also an Orisha.
For multiculturalistic anthropology, the term "caboclo" has been criticized as too vague and prejudgmental for scientific use.

Renato Russo (born Renato Manfredini, Jr., March 27, 1960 – October 11, 1996) was the formal founder and leader of the Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana.
At the age of 15, Renato acquired epiphysiolysis, a disease that paralyzed his legs for two years. Renato had to have a platinum implant, which earned him the nickname "Six Million Dollar Man". Due to this condition, Renato became an enthusiastic reader. He studied Law. He grew interested in music, particularly punk, to the point of creating an imaginary band, 42nd Street Band, where he would be a lead singer and bass guitarist. He worked as a journalist and an English teacher for a brief period before becoming a full-time musician and composer. He chose the stage name ''Renato Russo'' in honour of French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, British philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell and French painter Henri Rousseau.
In 1982, he, along with Marcelo Bonfá, Dado Villa-Lobos and Renato Rocha, formed Legião Urbana (idealized some time before by Renato Russo). With ''Legião Urbana'' and ''Dois'', they became widely famous in Brazil, with protest songs at first, and songs about love, spiritualism, family and sex afterwards.
He worked in two solo albums, with English and Italian songs, in the 1990s.
Russo, who was bisexual, is survived by son Giuliano Manfredini and sister Carmen Manfredini.

Margareth Menezes (born October 13, 1962) is a Brazilian singer from Salvador, Bahia.
Her style is considered axé but her music also steers into samba and MPB territory, also drawing on African rhythms and reggae at times.
Menezes is best known in Brazil for her song "Me Abraça e Me Beija", a major hit in 1990. She also scored another hit with "Dandalunda", a song which became the unofficial anthem of the 2003 Salvador carnival.
Menezes has achieved superstardom in her native Bahia but only moderate success in wider Brazil. She is famed for her energetic live performances and regularly tours and performs at carnival celebrations.
In 1990, one of Menezes's tracks "Elegibô (Uma Historia De Ifa)" was used in the Mickey Rourke film ''Wild Orchid''. This prompted Island Records in the US to release a compilation album of some of her older material from Brazil on their subsidiary label, Mango. The album, simply titled ''Elegibô'', was an instant hit, reaching # 1 on the ''Billboard'' World Music chart at a time when David Byrne was championing Brazilian music in the US. The title track itself became a regular staple at clubs playing so-called world music throughout the US and Europe. The album also received a full release in the UK, Germany and France. A single, "Tenda do Amor", was also released from the album in some European territories. Menezes toured internationally on the back of this album, generating a lot of press in the process. A second US-released follow-up album ''Kindala'', released late 1991, but repackaged in some territories from the Brazilian version of the same name, also achieved some success. This release also gave Menezes a minor hit album in France too.
In 2001, Menezes released the highly acclaimed ''Afropopbrasileiro'' (also known as "''Maga''") showcasing her trademark fusion of afro-Brazilian beats. The album was produced by Carlinhos Brown of Tribalistas fame and was well received in Brazil and internationally.
Menezes also co-wrote and performed on the 2003 Tribalistas hit "Passe Em Casa", from the million-selling ''Tribalistas'' album.
Her 2005 single, "Como Tu", a duet with Brazilian superstar Ivete Sangalo was released amidst much hype because Sangalo was achieving platinum album sales at the time. The track reached the lower reaches of the airplay Top 30 in Brazil but failed to emulate the success of recent Sangalo hits. The hit single was lifted from Menezes' 2005 album release ''Pra Você''; the album received lukewarm reviews, possibly owing to a more poppier sound than previous releases. A second single, the reggae-tinged "Miragem na esquina" performed poorly at radio.
In 2006, the album ''Pra Você'' received a Grammy nomination for "Best Brazilian Contemporary Pop Album".
More recently, Menezes participated on the track "Beijo Descarado" by Timbalada which achieved some airplay success in Brazil during the 2007 Carnival celebrations.
In 2010, an acoustic version of her 2008 album ''Naturalmente'' was released. The album was recorded at Ilha dos Sapos and featured guests like Gilberto Gil, Carlinhos Brown and Portuguese singer Luis Represas.
Menezes remains one of the most dynamic and popular of the contemporary Brazilian artists achieving international recognition.
