MY FESTIVAL~!!!

BRAZIL CARNAVAL

Or commonly known as The Carnival in Brazil, Carnaval is a Portuguese spelling, is a festival held annually in Brazil forty days before Easter.The festival celebrations are aimed at bidding farewell to the sins and bad habits in preparation for a season of religious discipline in order to practice repentance and prepare for the Easter season when Christ died and resurrected.

The streets are flooded with numerous numbers of brazilian people that range from the common man, perfomers and celebrities.

TYPE OF MUSIC

Samba is commonly used during the festival, Samba is a genre of music that originated from African rythms. Though this style of music is had been commonly played in bars and enclosed party areas, it was modified and transformed in order to fit the purpose of the Carnival.Samba is not only a music genre but a dance as well, today in the world it has become an icon for Brazilian Culture as well as The Carnival itself. Samba music instills a vibrant and warm feeling within you when played and just makes you feel like getting up and dancing!!!
