Lio Carnival is held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil around from end of February to early March. This festival is almost Samba Festival. The carnival parade is filled with people and floats from various samba schools. A samba school can either be an actual school or just a collaboration of local neighbors that want to attend carnival. I think this is kind of interesting. Because people go to school because they just want to participate the festival.
This festival was the combination of the festival which was held by people from the Portugal and dances and songs of the African slaves. It developed as one big festival as time goes by. I read that the passion of African slaves can lead this festival to a one of the big festivals.
During the festival, the city is crowded thousands of people.
It also has worth of 2 billion economic effect and creates more than 400 thousand jobs.
I think this festival is very important to Brazil's economy.
Wow!! Look those people!
Thousands of people!!!
I heard this festival attracts more than one hundred thousand people from the world and three hundred thousand people from the Brazil. What a number!!
You can see also many beautiful and passionate dancers.
They are so splendid. I couldn't find the picture of handsome male dancers :(
