Brazilian Carnival - Frevo
Hello guys! [emoji][emoji]
The Brazilian Carnival season officially started today and I'd love sharing with y'all some videos about our parties ;). I want to do it for a main reason: a lot of foreigners don't know exactly how is the Brazilian Carnival. I've been talking to some foreign friends and most of them just have an only point of view about our Carnival, with beautiful, drunk people half-naked, beer, samba and some things like these. Well, that's true, but that's not all. Brazil is big and has a beautiful, rich, diverse culture. So, at this season, it's possible to find out a lot of parties, that reveal traditions and customs of different folks.
For example, have you ever heard about "Carnaval de Olinda"? Olinda is a city of Pernambuco State (which is located in the northeast region of my country, also, in my opinion, the region with the most wonderful accent in Brazil) where happens a beautiful party with a typical dance, wich is called "Frevo". I can't describe how wonderful this dance is, but you can see for yourself by the video below. As I was saying, all in all the Frevo is a dance with a lot of colours, and basically people dance with a colorful umbrella and do hard movements, as splits and big jumps.
Sadly I've never seen someone dancing "Frevo" in person =( and I would love to learn it, seeing that I'm a dancer and I love all the types of dance. I'm so proud the traditional dances of my country, so hope to see it as soon as possible when I visit Pernambuco. Here is a video with a brief Frevo's history! [emoji]

Brazilian Carnival - Frevo
Hello guys! [emoji][emoji]The Brazilian Carnival season officially started today and I'd like to share love with y'all some videos about our parties ;). My main reason for sharing it is that a lot of foreigners don't know exactly what the Brazilian Carnival is. I've been talking to some foreign friends and most of them know only a few things about the Carnival; They highlight the beautiful half-naked drunk people, beer, samba and other things like these. Well, these are true, but that's not all. Brazil is big and it has beautiful, rich, diverse culture. In summer it is easy to find a lot of parties which are closely connected to the traditions and customs of Brazil. For example, have you ever heard about "Carnaval de Olinda"? Olinda is a city of Pernambuco State (which is located in the northeast region of my country, also, in my opinion, the region with the most wonderful accent in Brazil) where happens to be a dazzling party with a common dance, wich is called "Frevo".
I can't describe how wonderful this dance is, but you can see for yourself in the video below. All in all, the Frevo is a dance with a lot of colours, and basically people dance with a colorful umbrella and do difficult movements, as splits and big jumps.
