Brazil - Part 2 (Rio de Janeiro)
... move the party onto the streets in amongst the passing busses etc, everyone in the moving vehicles were jamming away and even the bus drivers were hooting and waving their hands to the music. It became clear to us then that Samba and Carnival is not just an annual party, it's a religion for the Brazilian people (Carioca's as they are commonly called)! Ears ringing, we left there that night in absolute awe. We'd been lucky enough to experience first-hand the nuts and bolts ...
RIO - erste Stadt meines Suedamerika Abenteuers
... Isais in einer Sambabar, anfangs habe ich mich noch gewundert, warum die Leute so zurueckhaltend sind - ich hatte was anderes von Brasilien erwartet - es dauerte aber nicht lange, bis das ganze in eine tolle Sambaparty ausartete, und man hatte das Gefuehl, dass Lifeband und tanzendes Puplikum gemeinsam feierten, sich gegenseitig anerkennend und anspornend.

Bien sûr cela se traduit aussi sur les plages d'Ipanema ou Copacabana, ou les maillots de bain minuscules ...
Going Carioca...
... more about us. I was really enjoying myself, soaking up the atmosphere and the interest, sure in the knowledge that my Brazilian friends would be appalled that I had gone to a favela.
The funk was pumping when we paid our R$5 (quite a contrast to the cover charges applied elsewhere in Rio) to get in. The music sounded much like the weapons being paraded outside when fired - a ra-ta-ta-ta-tat beat peppering the senses at maximum velocity. The dancing was the ...
