Carnival
in Salvador .................................................."Tour
Code BR47"
6 days/5 nights
Carnival
in Bahia is the largest in the world and encourages active
participation. It is said that there are 1 ½ million
people dancing on the streets at any one time.
There
are two distinct musical formats:
The Afro Blocos are large drum based troupes (some with 200
drummers) who play in the street, accompanied by singers atop
mobile sound trucks.
The
enormous trios electricos, sound trucks with powerful sound
systems that defy most decibel counters, are the second format.
These trucks, each with its own town band of up to 10 musicians,
play songs influenced by the afro blocos and move at a snail's
pace through the streets, drawing huge crowds…
