The Festivity of Brazil Carnival has now an official Brazil Carnival Facebook Fan Page with loads of photo, videos, links from Carnivals not only in Rio de Janeiro, but São Paulo, Helsinki, Notting Hill, Copenhagem, Asakusa, US Virgin Islands, Trinidad & Tobago Carnival to mention a few. This interaction is important since many people around the world now are starting to be more and more aware about the origins, elements and expressions of Carnival festivities. And, as we mentioned above, today formal associations arise in the 5 continents of the planet. Notting Hill Carnival, as an example, joins today more than 1 million revelers in London. In Frankfurt and Berlin, we see the Karneval, growing too!
Below, a video shot by Brazil Carnival Ooah, which was a tremendous success, because of the exclusivity of the images and the creativity of the body painting art applied to Carnival.
The objective is somehow encyclopedic, to help define the "Carnival of Brazil Glossary" and terminology, as well as present the schedule and dates of this marvelous culture which is gaining momentum all over the world.
