class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The origin of Carnival has to do with Christianity and its roots in the Middle Ages. Back then, people would wear masks and disguises to celebrate the time before Lent. Even today, Carnival still has a certain connection with Christianity, as the official date for this celebration changes every year according to the Christian calendar. We celebrate Carnival 40 days after Palm Sunday every year. That means Carnival usually falls by the end of February or the beginning of March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During colonial times, the Portuguese brought Carnival festivities to Brazil, especially Rio de Janeiro. With time, rich people were organizing masquerade balls in the country, making Carnival a popular season. Also around that time, people started to parade on the streets, wearing their masks and costumes. However, samba was not yet a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/samba-in-brazil\/\">History And Types Of Samba In Brazil<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The music people would play the most during Carnival season was m<em>archinha<\/em>, a genre of music that would serve as a comic satire of military marches. Nonetheless, by the end of the 19th century, samba started to grow among the slums of Rio de Janeiro and the general population. With time, it became the most popular genre of Carnival music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not long after that, around the \u201920s, the first samba schools were established in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in 1950 in Bahia, Carnival was growing differently than in Rio. With the invention of the&nbsp;<em>trio el\u00e9trico<\/em>, Carnival began to revolve around ax\u00e9 music, not samba.&nbsp;<em>Trio el\u00e9trico<\/em>&nbsp;is an adapted sound truck often used for street parties and large musical events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/carnaval-no-brasil.jpg\" alt=\"carnaval no brasil\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samba_Schools\"><\/span>Samba Schools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/All-About-Carnival-in-Brazil-History-Where-to-Go-Vocabulary.png\" alt=\"All About Carnival in Brazil - History, Where to Go &amp; Vocabulary\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Differently from what it might seem, the samba school has nothing to do with formal educational instruction. Samba schools are associations founded by civilians to praise samba and celebrate Carnival. They have a solid community basis and a strong bond with local neighborhoods or&nbsp;<em>favelas<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the \u201930s, samba schools started to compete against each other, organizing the first parades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, there are over 70 samba schools in Rio de Janeiro. Because of that, there are different leagues in the competition for the best school of the year. The Special League (Grupo Especial) is divided into two groups that parade on the Sunday and Monday of the Carnival season. They compete to crown the winner of the samba school parade every year. The parade lasts about one house and has to follow several rules. The Access League (Grupo de Acesso) parades on the Friday and Saturday before the Special League and competes to be promoted to the main league the following year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum it up, the samba school\u2019s competition works just like a football state championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The samba school\u2019s competition is such a big deal nowadays, that they take over a year to prepare for their parades. That includes choosing a theme, doing research, creating floats and costumes, writing original songs and deciding which one to use, and more. Thousands of people are involved in the making of each samba school\u2019s parade, such as designers, painters, seamstresses, woodworkers, musicians, choreographers, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fun Fact<\/strong>:\u00a0Caminhos has been present at Sapuca\u00ed for 4 years. In partnership with the samba school, Arranco do Engenho de Dentro. We have taken our students on immersive journeys, allowing them to fully embrace the vibrant spirit of Brazilian culture during Carnival.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parades\"><\/span>Parades<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated above, the samba schools need to follow certain rules for their parades. Each Carnival organization decides on these rules. In Rio de Janeiro, for example, the parade has a maximum time of 70 minutes, with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 Carnival floats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parade is divided into wings. No special wing is required, but some of them are traditional in every parade. For example, Ala das Baianas, in which ladies dress in clothes reminiscent of the early twentieth century. Also popular is Velha Guarda, a wing of only elderly people who once had honorable roles in the samba school, such as dancers, musicians, and directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each parade is judged and scored on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allegorical floats and props (Alegorias e adere\u00e7os): The Carnival floats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drumming Section (Bateria): The Carnival orchestra of each school.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Front Commission (Comiss\u00e3o de Frente): The first group of participants in a parade. They dance to a well-rehearsed choreography to introduce the theme the samba school is presenting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plot-theme (Enredo): The theme each school is presenting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Progression (Evolu\u00e7\u00e3o): The pace and speed of the parade must be in sync with the music.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Costumes (Fantasias): The design and ideas for the clothes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harmony (Harmonia): Everyone at the parade must be singing and dancing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mestre-Sala and Porta-Bandeira: A couple with a special costume that dances while paying tribute to the samba school\u2019s flag. Each school can have more than one couple honoring the flag, but only the main couple is judged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Samba song (Samba-enredo): The original melody and lyrics composed for the parade.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sambadrome\"><\/span>Sambadrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The sambadrome is the place where samba schools parade during Carnaval in Brazil.
