Carnaval Brasil

The Samba tradition in Brazil originates from Africa. Samba is

tied together with Carnival, which also has strong ties to

African traditions, since Africa has an ancient tradition of

parading and moving in circles through villages wearing masks

and costumes.

They also put natural objects together such as fabrics; shells; beads; grasses

and bones to create masks and costumes. Each object and

combination of objects were to represent a certain idea or spiritual force. Carnival traditions has clearly borrowed from these ancient African

traditions.
