Carnival in Bahia, a state in Northeastern Brazil differs substantially from Carnival in Rio de Janeiro (see article) . To start with the music styles are not the same for the two carnivals. In Bahia there are many different rhythms, which include samba, samba-reggae, axé, etc, while in Rio there is a mainly just a multitude of samba styles: samba-enredo, samba de bloco, and the funk-samba, in addition to the marchinhas played by the bands in the streets.

The black population of Bahia tended to commemorate Carnival in its own traditions, highly influenced by Yoruba characteristics, with a great deal of dancing in the streets and playing instruments. This type of Carnival celebration was deemed “primitive” and old fashioned by the upper-class white elite, and so those groups were banned from participating in the official Bahia Carnival, which ended up being predominately conservative and elite. These groups ignored the ban and continued to have their dances in the streets.

The Carnival in Bahia is such a large street party, you have to just see it to believe it!

Bacchanal Carnival season in Jamaica officially begins on February 5, 2010 with the opening of Bacchanal’s Mas Camp Village on Oxford Road in Kingston. The theme for carnival 2010 is “Bacchanal Treasures”. Each and every Friday night until March 26, the Mas Camp will be the place to be for great vibes and good fun. What is also great news is that ticket prices will be the same as last year, allowing the bacchanal faithful to fete at an affordable price. The Mas Camp opens on Friday, Feb 5 and there will be fetes each and every Friday night, 8pm – 2am leading up to the Road parade on April 11, 2010.

Telecommunications giant Digicel is on board with Bacchanal Carnival for the ninth year and promises to help the organisers pull out all the stops to create 10 weeks of ‘treasured’ moments for Bacchanal patrons under the theme ‘Bacchanal Treasures’. See Article here .

WHATS REALLY GOING ON????

So the result is we still dont have a stage, is Machel going to release any music for next year?, where are we going to party now? and will the price of costumes decrease because they are not selling as fast as they should?

What are your thought?
