Product Description:
The next best thing to being there. An exhilarating photographic celebration of Rio's annual Carnival is paired with a CD of the rhythms and sounds of the festival.

" Carnaval!" It's carnival time! Each year, usually in February though sometimes early March, Rio de Janeiro erupts in an ecstatic fiesta of pulsating music, swirling dancers, and radiant costumes. From all over the world, tens of thousands of people descend upon Rio for festivities lasting four days and four nights. Carnival is the Brazilian version of Mardi Gras, an exuberant holiday that comes just before Lent, and it consumes the entire city. In Carnival in Rio, Helmut Teissl's vibrant, full-color photographs capture the unique pageantry and euphoria of the world's largest party. While the book is a feast for the eyes, the accompanying CD puts you right in the middle of the throbbing madness of Rio's samba, the dance of Carnival, whose rhythms were brought to Brazil by African slaves. Twelve live recordings plus eight of the best sambas in the world let you hear firsthand Rio's outpouring of unadulterated joy. Together, the book and CD offer an astonishing visual and audio adventure.

Carnival's main event is a parade that features a contest between Rio's escolas de samba, samba clubs that compete for the best song, rhythm, dancing, and costumes. Virtually every neighborhood in Rio has an escola de samba that practices throughout the year, harboring dreams of glory at Carnival time. Throughout the festival, many smaller, more spontaneous processions fill the streets of Rio. Anyone can jump in at the end of the passing bandas (marching bands of brass and percussion) and share in the revelry. These celebrations, as well as the nocturnal extravagance of Rio's innumerable costume balls, are all recorded in this book, which will appeal to anyone interested in the singular experience of Carnival

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Sumptuous and sexy This is one of the most beautiful photographic essays I have ever seen. It is so intense, it is almost too much (like the movie Moulin Rouge); but because it is a book rather than a movie, you can take it in at your own pace. The colors, excitement, and sensuality of Carnival are captured in a way that makes you glad you, too, are a member of the human race. The CD which comes with the book is a nice addition, but doesn't come close in vividness and stimulation to the photos. + See Full Customer Review
