Brazilian Music and Festivites

Music:
Brazilians are among the most musical people on the planet due to their highly developed art form. Wherever you go, you will find people playing, singing and dancing, perhaps because of its African roots. Brazilian music includes genres such as pagode, samba, frevo, foro and lambada. All of these genres have their own respective dances as well.

Festivals:
Brazil's most celebrated holiday is the Carnival which takes place in February, prior to Lent. Thousands of people parade every year among the streets, celebrating. This holiday brings many tourists every year for the extravagant carnival and parties. The festivities last four days, with Ash Wednesday proceeding.
