In Rio de Janeiro started carnival 2016 (photo + video)
February 6, on Saturday, in Rio de Janeiro started the famous Brazilian carnival, which should last a week!
Economic and political problems, as well as the spread of Zeke's virus, should scare most fans of the colorful procession, but the Brazilians admit that they can not help dancing and forget about all the troubles for at least a week.
Carnival in Rio is a colorful event of a global scale. For a few days the whole city stops, people are distracted from routine cares and rush to forget the rhythm of the charming samba.
The Brazilian Carnival of 2016 began with a ceremony during which the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro handed the symbolic keys from the city to King Momo - the host of the holiday, whose role is played by a full and tall man every year.
The Brazilian carnival in Rio de Janeiro is primarily a parade of samba schools, which takes place at the Marquis de Sapukai sambodrome, a 700-meter-long court with tribunes on both sides.
The cost of tickets for sambodrom comes to $ 650.
On February 13, the so-called winners' parade will be held: six schools that received the highest marks of judges will once again demonstrate their talent at the sambo-drome.

In addition to the official Brazilian carnival, which gathers tens of thousands of spectators in the stands of the Marquise de Sapukai, mass costumes will be held on the avenues, embankments and squares of the city these days.
These processions, called "street carnival", are distinguished by a great democracy and accessibility.
Carnival in Rio, as a rule, collects under its banners about 30 thousand dancers.
Note that the Brazilian carnival 2016 was in jeopardy - in connection with the crisis, many samba schools across the country were forced to refuse to participate in the show.
This year, thousands of dancers from various samba schools struck spectators on the first day, not only with their incendiary movements, but also with costumes that consisted of rhinestones, feathers ... and, perhaps, everything, nothing else
