Recife,
the capital of Pernambuco, in the northeast 
of Brazil, is a
traditional Carnival destination for
Brazilians. For example,
there are people who live in Rio who like to escape the waves of
tourists arriving from around the world and party elsewhere.
Recife and Olinda, its neighbor, have long been Carnival hot
spots for Brazilians from all over the country to let loose and
really party. In Recife, there are music stages downtown and
spread out through the city. In Olinda, the partying takes place
in the colorful, house-lined, sloping streets of the city.
The
Carnival festivities begin in December, as locals begin
preparing for the official Carnival in Recife and Olinda, which starts the week
before Ash Wednesday. The pre-Carnival parties usually consist
of percussion groups practicing in local
clubs, city streets and
squares, and even Carnival balls. There are a variety of rhythms
from native Indian and African Maracatu beats to Frevo and
samba. Carnival officially starts with the Galo da Madrugada, a
party in downtown Recife attracting as many as 20,000 costumed
partiers!
