What is it? ‘The Rio de Janeiro carnival, held annually in the month of February, is a spectacular celebration of life that attracts millions of people onto the streets of the Brazilian city. The whole country stops to watch, either in the city itself or on the television. It is estimated that ‘each year 700,000 visitors come to watch from all over the world. “Samba” schools ‘The music played throughout the carnival procession is called the “samba”. Many participants belong to “samba” schools where they learn to dance and play the music which is so popular throughout Brazil. There are about 30 “samba” schools with thousands of members. They perform for four entire nights in a huge arena called the “Sambadrome”. The schools take part in an official competition and the best of them is awarded a prize. Each ‘school is assessed on its costumes, the theme of its performance and the quality of the music. Some “samba” schools hold street parties and perform in their local areas because many people cannot afford to buy a ticket for the official competition. From year to year... Because it is such a huge event, planning for the camival begins many months in advance. In fact, itis true to say that as soon as one camival finishes, rehearsals and preparations for the next one begin. Much of this work is done in “Samba City’, which consists of enormous buildings where most of the equipment and costumes are prepared. The stars of the show Each school is led by a queen followed by hundreds of drummers and brightly decorated carnival vehicles. The Carnival Queens are the biggest stars and they are chosen from amongst the most beautiful women in each community. As well as beauty, the queen has to be very fit to lead her group of drummers on the slow procession through the streets of Rio. “Blocos” parades “Blocos” parades have become an important feature of Rio's camival in addition to the “samba” schools. These parades are less formal and include groups of musicians from the ‘same neighbourhood who just want to sing, dance and have a good time. Today, they umber more than 100 and the groups increase each year. They all dress in costumes or T-shirts with special themes or logos. Before the show they gather in a square, then parade through sections of the city, before performing near to the beach. Some of them have a particular place such as a café where they play and dance to attract spectators.
