Carnival in Olinda
posted in Carnival, Culture, Dance, Humor, Music, Rio de Janeiro, Videos by Rico Ferrari |Every time a Brazilian (or Arnie) say to you the best carnival in the world is in Rio de Janeiro, you can be sure this guy is either:
- A prick
- Spitful
- Clueless
- Joe Carioca showing Rio de Janeiro to Donald Duck in a 1942’s cartoon.
- All the alternatives above
By all scores the best carnival parties are either on northeastern states (Pernambuco, Bahia) or in southern Santa Catarina state (Camboriu or Laguna town). In Olinda, the top carnival of the block, you’ll never listen to or dance samba, instead you’ll see people dancing and singing Frevo, a very popular local rhythm.

Who said only Russians know to dance like puppets? Frevo dance competition in Olinda, Pernambuco state:
(yeap, the sound quality sucks)
Joe Carioca (Ze Carioca) presenting Rio de Janeiro to Donald Duck. The song is a kind of second anthem, although the lyrics is way dumb. This movie is a 1942 war effort movie from Disney Studios.
Samba carnival is a World War II dumb bomb, Frevo is a shiny new, intelligent missile. ;^)
