The town's samba schools compete in the 8,000-person Sambodromo, but the streets also fill with blocos, the dancing masses that follow trucks outfitted with sound systems and platform stages where bands play. Whereas Rio's carnival is best known for its pay-to-enter parades in the Oscar Niemeyer-designed Sambodromo, and Salvador has a traditional street carnival, Laguna places equal importance on both (albeit on a much smaller scale). It plays host to one of the top carnivals in southern Brazil.
LAGUNA About 120 kilometers, or 75 miles, south of the state capital of Florianopolis, this town of 50,000 sits on the tip of a peninsula with the Santo Antonio Lagoon on one side and the Atlantic on the other.
It goes to show there are these great little things hidden in the past which fade into oblivion and if we look hard enough, we catch a scent on the breeze without ever knowing who or what it belonged to.Here are a few of the more popular alternative carnivals: What struck me from watching the Rio Por Eles documentary series I posted in August 2016 is that many foreign clips of Rio had overlayed music that didn’t fit the reality of the visuals, which means the marchinhas in question might be from a previous year.
I even found the main marchinhas of ’53, but no titles pop out, aside from the biggest hit of that year, Cachaça (which people still sing today). He was in Rio filming in late February of 1953.
I did track down the name of the director, André de la Varre, and found out it’s from 1953, not 1954. Plus, I couldn’t find any information at all on who created the songs, nor any other version of them online anywhere. Que é com o meu sobrenome que você se chamaįirst, I had trouble finding the lyrics, then when found, words were missing so I had to listen many times to verses under the narrator’s voice and fill in some blanks. In one of the old videos of Rio on Youtube, produced by Warner Bros, I heard two great little marchinhas starting at the 1:20 mark, but which you can hear best starting at the 2:00 mark, going til 2:45, with some interruptions by the narrator.
