Carnival In Salvador Brazil Travel

Amoung the best carnivals are: Olinda Pernambuco, Salvador Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Paraty, and Ouro Preto in Minas Gerias.

Olinda, Pernambuco

In Olinda, on the northeast coast of Brazil, a surge of energy pulses through the normally quiet streets that weave up and down the hills in this sleepy artists’ hamlet. The most prominent dance at Olinda’s carnival is frevo, a marching band with a Brazilian twist of the hip. From the word frever, or to boil, it appears that there is water boiling beneath the feet of the dancer. Frevo was named accordingly 100 years ago February 9, 1907. Watching the bouncy acrobatic performers, it’s hard to imagine that frevo originated as an offshoot from capoeira, the martial art disguised as a dance slaves created to fool their unsuspecting masters. The colored parasols they dance with symbolize weapons.
