Brazil's Soulful Samba Spirit
"The Greatest Show On Earth" Rio Carnival takes place in the days leading up to Ash Wednesday. A kaleidoscopic samba march that leads to the epic Sambodromo, an 80,000 seat stadium designed to host 5,000 eccentrically costumed samba specialists serenading the crowd.
The trumpets and drums echo through the stadium and brim over to the surrounding Rio streets. The costumes are as loud as the music, inspired by European masquerades of years gone by the peacock like plumes are as integral to the carnival experience as drunk dancing with strangers.
'Blocos' arrange the street parties, and street parties are the samba heartbeat of the carnival. A stunning 5 million people pour onto the streets each year in a free loving, LGBTQ+ friendly fiesta of fun!
