VOICED : Brazil snack vendors win victory over FIFA

The video explores the Karagi, a popular snack among World Cup fans, tracing its origins to the 1850s when the sugar industry collapsed. Plantation owners sent slaves to sell food, leading to the rise of Karagi, originally from Benin. This delicacy became a significant business, helping many buy their freedom. Today, Salvador has 3000 vendors, contributing to the local economy. Despite FIFA's exclusive food rights, Karagi vendors secured a place at the World Cup. The snack is also a sacred offering to Iansã, the Afro-Brazilian goddess of storms.
