I had a conversation last night with my Brazilian best friends, Piero. We talked about the famous Brazilian Carnivals. They have so many, and considered as the best in the world. Rio Carnival, is the biggest and one of the best show of the earth. Combination of samba, street parade, music and dances for sure.
Then, we ended up talking more carnivals around the world. We just realized that Europe and Latin America have so many world-class carnivals. Mostly every country in these continents has at least one. The famous one from Asia probably only the carnival in Goa and Kerala, India.
Beside Brazilian Carnivals that are also considered as the longest, we do have some others that also famous and unique. Carnivals of Venice and the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. The Venice one is really nice, it's about people wearing mask and dressed up with a fantastic costume. While the Trinidad and Tobago Carnivals has always been really happening with music and dances.
Take a look of this Ppt, it's from Carnival of Venice 2008!
