Question

Where is the best place in Brazil to spend carnaval ?

Answer 1

Carnaval Bahia is generally a younger less trashy crowd than Rio

Answer 2

Without any doubt Rio De Janeiro¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Answer 3

An important part of the Brazilian Carnival takes place in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, with their samba schools. These are large, formal social entities with thousands of members and a theme each year. Blocos are small informal groups also with a definite theme, usually satirical of the current political situation, and bandas are samba musical bands usually formed by enthusiasts in the same neighborhood.

From Salvador, Bahia another form of the Brazilian Carnival, the Trio Elétrico, has spread throughout the country. A trio elétrico is an adapted truck, with giant speakers and a platform where musicians play songs of local genres such as Axé music and Maracatu. The truck is driven around the city with the crowd following dancing and singing. It was originally staged by three Salvador musicians, Armandinho, Dodo & Osmar in the decade of 1950.

Pernambuco has large Carnival celebrations, including the frevo, typical . The best place to hear the frevo would be Olinda , next to Recife.

So at the end it depends on the type of music you prefer:

Samba, Trio Electico or Frevo..

Personaly , I would prefer Olinda, (They play Frevo), because it's smaller, with Bahia second,

Difficult choice, but good luck

Answer 4

It depends on you. If you want to make part of it (carnival) or if you want peace, calm. You can go to Rio to see, Salvador to make part of it or Fortaleza to be in heaven.

Answer 5

I prefer São Paulo. There YOU are part of the party, but in Rio you're just sitting there observing it.

Answer 6

It's depends. If you want see a show, you must go to Rio de Janeiro. But, if you want to have fun, you must go to Salvador - Bahia.

Answer 7
