The Masquerade
Club
"Galo da Madrugada" (Cock of the Dawn)
opens brazilian carnival officially in Recife
Pernambuco's carnival
attracts thousands of tourists
every year, specially to the cities of
Recife and Olinda. The Masquerade Club "Galo da Madrugada" (Cock of
the Dawn) opens brazilian carnival officially in Recife.
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!
