Brazilian Carnival


"The Carnival of Brazil, properly spelled "Carnaval" in Portuguese, is an annual festival in Brazil held forty days before Easter. On certain days of Lent, Roman Catholics and some other Christians traditionally abstained from the consumption of meat and poultry, hence the term "carnival," from carnelevare, "to remove (literally, "raise") meat."[1] Carnival celebrations are believed to have roots in the pagan festival of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Christianity, became a farewell to bad things in a season of religious discipline to practice repentance and prepare for Christ's death and resurrection.
Rhythm, participation, and costumes vary from one region of Brazil to another. In the southeastern cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, organized parades led by samba schools are influenced in aesthetics by Venice Carnival. Those official parades are specific to be watched by the public, although minor parades (called blocos) allowing participation can be found in other cities. The northeastern cities of Salvador, Porto Seguro and Recife have organized groups parading through streets, and public interacts directly with them. This carnival is heavily influenced by African-Brazilian culture. Crowds follow the trio elétricos floats through the city streets. Also in northeast, Olinda carnival features unique characteristics, part influenced by Venice Carnival mixed with cultural despections of local folklore.
Carnival is the most famous holiday in Brazil and become a event with huge proportions. The country stops completely for almost a week and festivities are intense, day and night, mainly in coastal cities. [2] The consuption of beer accounts for 80% of annual consumption and tourism receives 70% of annual visitors. The government distributes condoms and launches awareness campaigns at this time to prevent AIDS dissemination."

Brasil, Brasil - Tropicalia Revolution - BBC documentary on Brazilian music and Brazilian musicians

"A documentary on Brazilian music and Brazilian musicians, revealing some of the "battleground" from where the Tropicalia movement rose, among major changes in the society of this vast multiracial semi-continent. Documentário da BBC sobre música brasileira. Essa segunda parte conta a trajetória da música brasileira junto com os acontecimentos da época, a ditadura, a guerrilha, 68, era de Aquarius... mas a visão é um tanto diferente da que a gente tem, um certo estranhamento com as opiniões e visões, já que a comparação que fazem e o referencial que têm é a música inglesa, que nesse mesmo período estava com sua própria revolução, Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, etc."
