TEXT 2, QUESTION 5 TO 6

Pernambuco-style Carnival

The North East state of Pernambuco has unique Carnivals in its present capital Recife and in its colonial
capital Olinda. Their main rhythms are the frevo and the maracatu. Galo da Madrugada is the biggest
carnival parade in the world, considering the number of participants, according The Guinness Book of
World Records. It means "dawn's rooster" and parades, as the name suggests, in the morning only.
Frevo is Pernambucan to 10 dance with African and acrobatic influences, as it is fast and electrifying,
often using an open umbrella and frequent legs and arms movements.

Unlike Salvador and Rio, the festivities in Recife, Olinda and Itamaraca do not include group
competitions. Instead, groups dance and play instruments side by side. Trocas and maracatus, mostly of
African influence, begin one week before Carnival and end a week later. Some well-known groups have
funny names, such as: Tell me you love me, damn eggymann (with a famous giant dancing doll that leads
the group), Crazy Lover, Olinda's Underpants, and The Door. Held 40 days before Lent.
