My ballistic calculations to be included in Pernambuco for carnival, and that's destroyed by the incoming hot and sleep at the home of Aline in Recife .
After a couple of days of conditioning, I find myself in the company of a group of friends who greet me as Teresina COMPAD and I involve them with joy and with the complicity of the Brazilian Carnival, which anywhere in the country is a pretext to celebrate a week, do not work and jeopardize the health shots of beer, dancing and music. In particular
carnival Olinda is famous for being one of the most traditional and most beautiful to celebrate in the streets, because the city itself, which is almost a satellite district of Recife, is a gem of colonial architecture and is pleasant to explore on foot.
It is difficult to describe the festive atmosphere during this period, it seems almost a San Juan stop for those who lived on the English coast, or a concert on May 1 along five days for those who has never been in Piazza San Giovanni in Rome. Every day parade
different blocos (groups of musicians with a lot of people to follow that tour the ancient city), and each has its own tradition, his pace and his followers.
Contrary to how you might think this is not the carnival samba, which is confined only to certain stages and at fashion shows in Rio and São Paulo, but Frevo and Maracatu .
The first is a music more melodic and rhythmic ballad is jumping up and down and right and left in a seemingly less coordinated as possible (in the eyes of a layman like me it seemed a relative of those funny Irish dancing as in a famous clip of Bob Geldof ).
The second is the rate of African origin in which men and women wear a heavy drum and can even dance with it, followed by girls fitted xequêrês and various singers.
Incredibly, the people, accustomed as she is a very early age, is holding very well the prohibitive temperatures of daytime shows as well as showers tropical wet often have concerts in the square at night, all without resting, pushing, sleep what is necessary, feeding more or less and drinking gallons of liquid spirits mostly.
It's a miracle that there are no chain beatings and deaths here and there, the warm blood of Italians do not stand up to tests so extreme!
But anyhow, the festival is all very pleasant and was happy to share it with people, friendly and helpful. Aline, in particular, convinced me to stay a few more days at home to enjoy the post-carnival and get some sleep ', a special thanks as a special has been our consistent during those days.
