Tour description

I will show you the history of carnaval in Brazil and how it became the biggest party in the world. We will start with the context of how this european celebration came to Brazil and gave birth to the Samba rhythim, then spreading to the whole country.

We will: 
-Understand the origin of carnaval and how it was transformed in Brazil with the influence of afro and native brazilian rithyms

- Learn about the history of Samba

- Visit a live samba school rehearsal or street party rehearsal so you can experience the live magic of the drums. (exact school depends on the day of the week the tour occurs)

-Understand the parts of the parade of a Samba school and what they mean

-Play with the drums with the carnaval instruments I have and will show you how to play


I have some intruments and will show how to play  so  you can be a carnaval percussionist for some moments.

We will finish the tour talking about the process to enter a Samba School that I went through and to understand better the routine of the Samba school leading to the carnaval championship parade.

TOUR ONLY AVAILABLE IN FEBRUARY
