Brazilian Carnival
Each year tons of tourists go to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Recife and
other important Brazilian cities to take part in the most famous Brazilian celebration:
the Carnival.
It’s usually in February, starts on Saturday (some cities start the celebration on
Friday) and lasts until the next Tuesday.
Rio de Janeiro
The most important event of the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is the Parade when all the
“Samba Schools” present to people on an avenue especially set for the occasion.
Each samba school prepares a song theme (or “samba”) and while it’s song by the
samba school official singers, the samba school members pass on the streets dancing “samba”, wearing costumes and
some go on floats.
The floats, the singers, the members and the costumes have a unique theme, based in a story that is narrated by the
“samba theme”. It’s common to see Brazilian and foreign artists on the parade.
São Paulo
São Paulo city also has a popular parade that is similar to the one that happens in Rio de Janeiro. Carnival Balls are also
common, people wear costumes and dance samba until 4 a.m. The most important clubs promote carnival balls each
night, from Friday to Tuesday and in the afternoon there’s a matinee ball for the kids.
The most popular character is the “King Momo”, each city chooses a heavy man to wears the “King Momo” costume and
he participates in the Carnival Balls, especially for the kids. He’s kind of “King of Carnival”.
Salvador, Recife and other big cities
In Salvador the people dance on the street, following the “trio elétrico”, that is a truck with a band and some singers. They
play during all the night and the people dance while following them.
In Recife the “trio elétrico” play and sing another rhythm – besides “samba”: the “frevo”, that is danced with costumes and
holding a kind of small umbrella. It’s a popular rhythm during the Carnival. In Salvador they also have the “Olodum”, a
famous group that participated with Michael Jackson in some of his hits recordings when he was in Brazil.
