 * = [[image:carnaval-salvador.jpg width="279" height="180"]] || Other important carnival take part in Salvador, it's realy diffentent than Rio mostly beacuse of the kind of music. There are some circuits and the singer or the group stay on the "Trio Elétrico" all the time.This may get hard during the trip when the "trio" goes through the avenue. The puplic can walk and follow it. The cost of the party varies since two months before, until January the price is still fair, but in the end of Jnuary and in begining of February it reaches it's higher price. However, the price depends of the fame of the singer . One day following the "trio" can cost R$ 900,00. It's realy expensive but you have others opitions, just as stay in cabins. There are many cabins along the circuit, despite the price (it's expensive too) it's the most confortable way because there are offer food and drinks. If it's to expensive, you can whatch on tv in a tv channel called Band which have a show know as "band folia"! Salvador carnival is a great experience and in my opinion is the best of the Brazil. I realy enjoy it. ||
 * = [[image:carnaval.jpg width="286" height="183"]] || "Frevo" is a musical style from Pernambuco, an involving, feverish rhythm played by a brass band at Carnival in Recife and Olinda.The word frevo comes from //frever//, a common uneducated pronunciation of //ferver//, the Portuguese word for "boil". Frevo evolved from several musical influences, including military marching bands which paraded around Recife during Carnival in the second half of the nineteenth century. Competition between the city's band associations was fierce and revelers who followed their favorite bands often got into violent fights with their perceived opponents.The essential instruments in a frevo band are saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and percussion. ||

In those festivals the people normally use traditionals clothes, caipira clothes, we eat traditionals foods, like pé de muleque, arroz doce, canjica, milho, paçoca... those foods are really very good. In the june festival we also have many traditional dances it´s usually country music and the traditional 'quadrilha' dance and traditional games like "Pescaria" when you are fishing, but in those parties that happens in the pool and are not real fishes. I like it because it has traditionals foods, and the party witch is a lot of fun, very beautifull and has traditional musics too.// //This party usually happens during June or July so it´s winter here and sometimes the money that we expend buying traditional food or just the entrance is used to collect donations to poor people.
