Salvador - A Carnaval of Musical Proportions

Salvador - A Carnaval of Musical Proportions
Carnaval Celebration, Salvador, Brazil

Carnaval celebrations in Brazil are biggest (and consequently most famous) in the larger centres of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo (the largest city in South America at an estimated 19 million inhabitants) and also the lively city of Salvador on the north-east coast of the Brazil.

We had an opportunity to get a brief taste of Salvador’s unique and colourful carnival celebrations. Salvador is a city full of colour and music.

Rather than having floats with elaborate costumed samba dancers (as in Rio) in Salvador trucks carrying what appear to be the largest mobile speakers on the planet make their way through the city following a pre-determined route with thousands (and I mean thousands) of people lining the streets!

Although my time in Salvador was short… I at least got to see the city at its liveliest!

Danny is currently in the Antarctic without Internet connections, which is why he hasn't tuned in. He will back after March 15. So stay tuned. In the meantime, there are new contributions from Paul Harrison (Global Connections/Global Warming), and Jose Calo (Global Connections/Conservation in Action/Argentina).

Muchas gracias Katie for taking the time to say hello. All is well down here south of the equator. I am presently in northern Argentina and the rain is falling in buckets!! I don't really mind as I feel very much at home with the rain. Thanks for the supportive note and keep posted as I will add some more photos and posts very soon.
