Brazil is internationally known for Carnival but there are more different carnival parties depending on the city and cultural influence. In small cities there are salons parties celebrations. Bigger cities like Salvador, Pernambuco, São Paulo and Rio offer different kind of music, dance and more popular participation (joining) in the carnival celebrations. Nevertheless it is almost impossible to remain as a mere spectator – everyone participates, everyone plays along and those who visit, become fans of these wonderful parties. Which is the best carnival parade in Brazil? Well the ones you visit, of course!
In Salvador, Bahia State, the Carnival effectively begins in December, with the opening of the celebrations by the Conceição Beach feast. But it is in February that the merry makers of all ages fill up the capital of Bahia, animated by sound trailers – large and colorfully decorated trucks equipped with powerful loud speakers, from where singers sing and make people dance.
In São Paulo, the Carnival had been formerly a party restricted to saloons. Overtime, it conquered the streets, following the influences of the Rio de Janeiro Samba Schools.
In the state of Pernambuco, we have the Olinda and Recife carnivals. Frevo dance emerged from this location, one of the most enticing rhythms of the nation. For a week, people go out on the streets in costumes and dance frenetically, next to traditional giant dolls and maracatus.
Rio de Janeiro- the joy of the carioca (Rio de Janeiro citizens) is contagious for those who visit Rio to participate in the Carnival – regardless of their origin. It calls on everyone to move their feet, let their arms loose, let their eyes shine and fully participate in this feast, the order is one: fun. Those who have seen it before come back for more. For first timers the impact is unforgettable. The Parade of the Samba Schools in Rio is one of the greatest shows on earth. It is like an opera, in which scenery and fantasy float past the public, the story being told with the song, the symbols, the costumes and the floats, which year by year become more creative. The parade usually starts around 8pm, and goes on through the night, sometimes lasting until dawn, though the rising sun softens the effect and the show is more spectacular at night.
What is the latest trend at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro? Tourists are no longer just watching the parade. Nowadays, tourists don costumes, join a samba school for the night, and fully participate in the festivities.
Yes! You can! Participate in the samba championship, in any school of your choice. You don't even need to know how to dance or anything of the sort. "All you need to do is to go out there and have fun".
Samba sensation form: Times archives
- Brazil’s carnival dates back to the 18th century and is a mix of Portuguese and African traditions. The first parade of samba schools was in 1928
- The top 12 samba schools parade in Rio’s Sambodromo stadium with up to 6,000 drummers, dancers and other participants. Each school has a queen, who leads the drums corps
- A panel of 40 judges grades each samba group in ten categories, from floats to costumes
- 700,000 visitors travelled to Rio de Janeiro for the carnival last year

Carmen Miranda, honored on São Paulo Fashion Week
This article is published at Déjà vu Magazine in the March Issue. Enjoy!!!

Who was Carmen Miranda?
“The brazilian bombshell” as was known, marked the time with her way of singing, moving their hands and Ginger. Her communicable smile and outrageous outfits will always be remembered. Today, more than 50 years after his death, Carmen still is the best Braziliam symbol known in the world.
Although she was not Brazilian, Carmen was actually born in Portugal. Her family immigrated to Brazil when she was a child. An entertainer since her early days, she emerged as a popular singer and actress in Brazil during the late 1920s and early 1930s. In those days she was the most famous and beloved women in Brazil, an absolute record of selling the discs. Then Carmen was invited by the American entrepreneur Lee Schubert to embark with her band "Bando da Lua" to the United States in 1939.
When Carmen reached the port of New York, was an illustrious unknown to the American public. But just one month later, she won the Broadway and an extraordinary popularity. Her singing ability and comedic skills, her loud costumes, bubbling personality and thick accent quickly helped her become popular with the movie-going public. The success was so big that Carmen recorded her feet and hands in the hall of fame's and received a star of gold with her name on the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard.
She performed more than 14 films from 1940 to 1953 until her untimely death in 1955 from a heart attack. Carmen represented strongly the unknown and exotic land, full of coconut trees, bananas and pineapple. She was really a symbol of the Brazilian soul and a national pride.
The influence of Carmen Miranda in fashion.
That decade was the heyday of Hollywood and Carmen Miranda, as one of the landmarks of that period. It was the first Brazilian to launch fashions, including the U.S. - the "Miranda look" which was adapted and used in the streets.
By having a short stature, wide hips and full breasts, Carmen wore the clothes to enhance her body, which was not anything special compared to the actresses of the time. The short stature was resolved with its famous platforms that left much more elegant. Embroidered skirts, blouses with flounces, shoulders out, gowns, jewelry and platforms shoes built a unique style. The success of Miranda look made all the luxury shops of Fifth Avenue in New York, replaced the creations of Dior and Chanel for their fantasies of Bahia, their shoes and turbans.
Even today many designers and celebrities seek inspiration in her style. Madonna said recently that her exotic clothes were inspired on Miranda style. So the universe of fashion, thanks to that great – “small woman” who recreated every season with her visual references. Her collection of platforms shoes and her films from the 40s inspired the avant-garde designers who develop their models with her sensuality and timeless style even now days.

São Paulo Fashion Week - Carmen Miranda tribute
By Anna Avalanche, Gisa Miles and Luiz Speedwell

São Paulo Fashion Week (SFW) is considered the most stylish Latin American fashion show. In its 26ª edition, between January 18 and 23, more than 40 designers and “griffes” presented the Brazilian trends to the autumn - winter 2009.
This edition came with “Brasileirismo” theme. It means the light and the happiness of Brazilian people represented in its various manifestations and celebrations. The joy and humor in those events reflect more than a feature of the Brazilian people, but a creative potential that often leaves its mark on catwalks. Also the week gave honor to the centennial birthday of the actress and singer Carmen Miranda, an icon of international “Brasileirismo”, who became a phenomenon in the American show business at early 1940s and 1950s. She was honored with huge billboards and exhibition of original pieces from Carmen Miranda Museum. See next article about Miranda.
The São Paulo Fashion Week is one of the most anticipated fashion events in Brazil. People are fascinated with beautiful models, such as Gisele Bündchen, fashion people, famous designers, photographers and celebrities.
In simple words what are the style shown at SFW 2009? Long and short dresses were predominant in all catwalks. Pants came with high waist and bell-bottom, like pantaloons. The black, the gray, and the pastel tones were unanimous. Designers work with geometric shapes, chess and stripes. Leather and fabric with metallic were also present. High boots and court shoe – escarpins – are trend for this winter (Brazilian). The predominant colors were wine, dark green, blue, and yellow mustard.
Other tendency for the winter is comfort. To people feel well, pants and dresses are wider and the materials used ensure that they don’t get stuck, rigid, without movement. The pieces made of woven wool, wool knitted and unbeatable sweatshirt came strong for this autumn-winter 2009, even in its traditional color, the gray-mix. The traditional clothes, blouses with a hood, with its forms extensive readings are revisited in contemporary fabrics and technology, capable of great warmth.
Some Brazilian notorious brands such as 2nd Floor, Forum, Colcci, Ellus, Forum, Iodice, Osklen, Triton, Maria Bonita, Cori, Carlota and famous fashion designers like Alexandre Herchcovitch, Fause Haten, Andre Lima, Fabia Bercsek, Isabela Capeto, Lino Villaventura, Wilson Ranieri, Samuel Cirnansck, Priscilla Darlot and Erica Ikezili among others were present at SFW 2009.
