Brazil is famous for its remarkable celebrations and festivities, one of the main ones is Carnival - a celebration that usually lasts 4 days and that precedes Lent - the 40 days in which, according to the Bible, Jesus was in the desert. During the parties, the people go to the streets or private parties to dance marches and sambas in costumes.
However, Carnival was not born in Brazil, but in the Europe of the Middle Ages, based on elements of the festivities of Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome. At the time, the festivities took place for months, in which people drank, ate, watched plays, and played on the streets. This celebration only arrived in Brazil during the 16th century, a period in which the Portuguese colonized the country.
Even happening in other places, such as Barbados, the Brazilian Carnival is one of the most famous and with great economic circulation. In data from the "Rio Economic Observatory" it was found that about 4 billion reais are moved during the celebration.
One of the ways to celebrate Carnival in Brazil are street blocks. Organized by groups, each of the blocks has a fun awareness about not transforming ethnicities and part of the marginalized population into a Carnival allegory, so revelers are much more attentive to their characterization choices.
In addition, another part of Carnival that is very popular are the parades of samba schools. Annually, each school selects a theme and, from it, creates the costumes, the floats and a samba-plot to represent them. After the event, a vote takes place that decides which is the winning choice of the year. This celebration is so important that it is even broadcast on television.
Carnival is one of the events that brings strong elements of Brazilian culture and values, mainly, the celebration of music, dance and creativity, so it deserves all the necessary appreciation so that it always remains strong in the history of the country.
