• FIRST TIME IN RIO DE J...
Welcome to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! This week we got an up close and personal experience at one of the world’s biggest parties: CARNIVAL! This lively, colorful, and loud tradition originated in Rio de Janeiro, and today we’re giving you a look at all that goes into this long running tradition. Every year samba schools from around Rio practice extreme and elaborate choreographed shows that they’ll perform to compete for a slot in the main Rio Carnival event. We learned so much about the history of the event, samba, and the work that goes into making this event happen. Carnival is SO MUCH more than just a party- it’s tradition, culture, and heritage, and seeing the way the communities come alive for their friends and families in the samba schools was so special. Would you or have you attended Carnival? Let us know in the comments below!

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

There is even a common saying here in Brazil that, “the year starts only after Carnival”
Love that!
Yeah, we jokingly say at home "Guys, it's thursday. Happy New Year!" Haha.
And then it last for a couple months...
e era somente o ensaio ...Viva essa terra maravilhosa , orgulho de ser carioca
I know, even just for a rehearsal it was still incredible!
Carnival is a major party, when people can dance, get cathartic and crazy ❤️ but is also massive way of Brazilian people to express our culture and scream demands through the themes of the samba schools and the small parades in the streets, through irony and laughter. It's the best ❤️
7:33 "Genial, uma delícia de empada"
Legenda: man yelling in Spanish
Quando até a legenda pensa que no Brasil se fala espanhol.
Pior são os portugueses, que ficam revoltados de pessoas que aprendem o PTBR quando vai a Portugal.
Dizem que preferem que eles falem a linga original, do que conversarem em PTBR.
Fora que eles dizem que não falamos Porruges, e sim Brasileiro.
Claro que não são todos, mas uma grande parte tem essa xenofobia com o Brasil.
Invejinha, pq o Brasil ficou mas popular que Portugal. E igual o inglês americano ser aprendido, em vez do inglês da Inglaterra. Rs
This is so cool! You see Carnival and don't think about everything that goes on behind the scenes. We just thought people were dancing too. Just like a giant parade/festival. Didn't even know there was a competition.
It was definitely quite the experience, so cool to see how it all comes together!
There's two types of carnival here. Street carnival which is the most common where people are just partying, using costumes and drinking freely and there's samba school's, which is what you are seeing in this video and only happens in Rio. This airs on TV for people to watch. They prepare for this competition for the entire year, usually all the themes have a social critique behind, the girls you see dancing samba on videos , the school queens workout the entire year like crazy to dance for these competitions.
@@csoniah4432 Just a small correction. This type of competition doesn't just happen in Rio, but all over Brazil. And even out of the country. We export the samba school parade to Argentina, Uruguay and Japan. The difference is that few have the size of Rio de Janeiro. São Paulo is one of the biggest, but it still doesn't come close to the level of Rio's carnival.
@@joaofld I'm from northeast and tbh is not that popular here, people like street carnival more here. Didn't even know samba schools existed outside Rio but thanks for the info.
Do you think they make giant floats full of mechanics and movement over a trucks chassis in one day? Haha
Vocês precisam conhecer o Festival de Parintins, Boi-Bumbá é incrível!!
Eu Brasileiro, adorei a explicação deles sobre as escolas de samba e o carnaval. A melhor que eu já vi um gringo fazer.
Thank you!
5:33 but Brazil same is a American Country. It's located in South America
How fun that you were able to enjoy part of Carnival!!! I was lucky enough to spend 6 months in Rio for my job back in 2005 and was there during Carnival and actually got to "parade" with the schools! We were WAY in the back with the tourists and not part of the judging, but it was still such an amazing experience and one that I will never forget. I am still in touch with the friends that I met during my short time there are Rio is always in my heart. The city is amazing and you can't leave without taking a part of it with you!!!
That's such a cool experience, definitely won't forget it!
Thank you for so much respect for our culture. Yes, Carnaval is very important to us. It's really a competition every year. In the main group (league) we have 12 Samba Schools creating different stories every year. Each one with around 3.000 members. It's an important source of work and income to this people. Fashion and art workers, musicians, designers, writers, researchers m It's a lot of work for two days of presentations. And in the next year they do everything different. I just love my City and the people that live here.
Que bom que gostaram do ensaio. o Carnaval será na próxima semana.
There's two types of carnivals here in Brazil , Parades like the ones shown in the video that happen on sambodromo and are aired on TV and street carnival which is partying in the streets and is the most common one in most states. Each state has their own carnival culture and tradition. Rio is famous for the parades.
No Rio não é só famoso pelos desfiles, há tb carnaval de rua e muito famoso. Tem bloco aqui com mais de 100 anos e já entrou no livro dos recordes. Foi no Rio que começou o carnaval de rua.
The official parade is fun. But it gets old for locals so the real fun is in the street parties during carnival. It goes like this: Carnival is officially always on some Tuesday either in February or March. Most people don't have to work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during carnival week (schools and universities also pause during this time). Some employers are good enough to give you the entire week off, most universities do give students the entire week off (students just do it themselves anyways).
So the street parties begin the Friday before carnival Tuesday and happen everyday till Sunday after carnival Tuesday. The parties are all over the cities, you can catch one any time of the day or night. Clubs, bars and private spaces will also be throwing parties all the time during these 10 days. It is amazing. When I was younger I'd go party hopping with my friends. You begin a carnival day in one party next thing you know you've been to 15 different places and it is the next day's night and you only go home because you have to sleep so bad.
And then there is "Carnival hangover", which is the weekend in the week after carnival. Which is pretty much the same but only for a weekend. Hangover happens only in major cities such as Rio and São Paulo.
Unfortunately street carnival was called off this year and last year due to the thing. Some parties happened anyways.
Wow that sounds amazing!
The street one is too messy. For ppl who do not like to party that much like me, but enjoy watching a spectacle, the parade is perfect.
@Uncle Gold School parades are only in Rio. The most common carnival in Brazil is street carnival and the majority of people definitely like this one the most because not everyone can get on a plane and go to rio. These parades are shown on TV for the rest of the country and that's it. Each state has their own tradition, I like bahia and Olinda the most.
@Uncle Gold I don't think the reason they hate samba schools is because they address Afro-Brazilian needs. To be honest, the themes of samba schools here vary. They are not always controverse. I like the parade because it's luxurious. As Joaosinho Trinta used to say: who likes poverty are the intelectuals. The parade is what put Rio Carnival on the map of the world's festivals and it's amazing. Just it. No one is against blacks in Brazil. Brazil is the most mixed country in the world. Let's stop dividing people here into skin colors. We are at least 100 years late for that.
@Uncle Gold I'm from Brasil and I totally agree with you Uncle Gold. The alt right partisans in Brasil hate the carnival party. But not just the afro-brazilian parades: they hate the popular culture, the universities, The Science and Technology, the minorities groups and the arts in general. Brasil is a racial mixed country, but the racism is a real thing when you think about our social structure based in severe inequalities. Brazilian racial harmony is a fake issue and the racial tensions are like disguised points that people try to deny.
Wow! This is unique view! There are SO MANY people involved, and it's just rehearsal! I hope y'all are having a great time in Rio or wherever you are now! :)
We were so glad we got to experience it! It was quite amazing
Crazy FUN crazy:) How cool to get this real behind the scenes Carnival experience. A few of my Brazilian animation friends always mentioned that what's normal to them might be considered risqué to Americans, but clearly the fun, energy and dance feels totally normal. Enjoy your remaining weeks. Hope to see you soon with our van "George." Best Wishes and Blessings, James and Kim ❤️
Yes, it was really quite a cool experience, one we won't forget! Thank you!
Foi minha primeira vez na Sapucaí esse ano, e realmente que sensação ÚNICA.
Quando as baterias passam é muito legal. Você sente o impacto que a onda de som delas causa.
My husband and I will be experiencing carnival next month on the 18th. We are beyond excited. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hey Chris and Sara! I'm really glad to see you're have enjoyed a lot our Carnival! This was only the technical rehersal in Sambadrome. In the next time, you need to see the official parade with the Cars and the costumes. It's just awesome. I'm a "ritmista" from Acadêmicos do Cubango "Bateria", the samba school that appears on your video and I hope you're have enjoyed our show! Hahahahahaha! :D
Thank you for taking us behind the scenes
Thanks for watching!
Que bom que vocês puderam conhecer bem de perto essa nossa festa maravilhosa....nosso Carnaval é a melhor e maior esta do mundo. Bem vindos ao nosso Brasil maravilhoso
We loved our experience! Thank you!
A Rehearsal of school of samba is a million times less exciting than the parade itself that is super mega powerful!
Em cada parte do Brasil tem um carnaval diferente, vale a pena conhecer todos
Pitty you both didn't stay there to the official parade! It's a magnificent and unforgettable experience!
What you both saw was just a rehearsal... the real parade would take place weeks later!
By the way, I really enjoyed Chris comments about Brazil ‘s carnival at the end of the video. Well done! You simply nail it!
Loved the video! You guys need to hook up w/ a samba school: Chris on drums, Sara in the dancers outfit, oh and Kramer will have to come along. 🤣 it’ll be a great vlog!
Maybe we will put Kramer in the dancers outfit 😂
@@chrisandsara …or Chris in the outfit
The "Stadium" you saw on the sides of the road is actually a Public School for local children. It was especially built on the sides of the Carnaval route. The school converts into a Stadium for watching the parade. The classrooms convert into very luxurious private boxes that are rented at the tune of thousands of dollars. They are equipped with excellent AC, posh furniture, Persian rugs, and catered with the best foods and beverages.
Have fun ! Thank you for coming to Brazil 🇧🇷
We had a blast, thank you!
Yes, Samba is practiced year round and have academies. Wide and I are heading back next year. Soccer and samba and beach are the life in brasil.
Pardon me boy... is there the chattanooga choo choo? Right on track 29, boy you can give me a shine?🎼🎼🎶
What a special and unique experience! Big festivals & parties aren’t our vibe, but this would be so cool to experience! Great job guys!! ~Cara 😊
It was definitely an experience we will never forget!
It's so cute seeing the hostess drop her jaw and look around in amazement. So happy that Carnaval did that to you too. I love Carnaval Im from Rio. Congratulations on the open minds and video!
It was truly an incredible experience we will never forget!
5:22 lol.
Very Nice waching the carnival , welcome
It's really lovely to see you guys excited with this! Our carnaval is really special and unique! By and for the people
it was such an incredible experience, we will never forget it!
@@chrisandsara I know the feeling! It's really important, specially considering all the people involved (from the communities and the tourists) and the stories that are told! This year winner told us about the importance of our afro-brazilian religions... other school told us about a comedian that passed away last year due to covid... the other one (my favorite) told us about 3 "carnavalescos" and important figures in our samba/carnival history... anyway.. it's really important for our culture and I really appreciate how you enjoyed and showed us that!! Another subscription!
Na verdade, o carnaval não é baseado em uma cultura católica, mas sim na religião e costumes afrobrasileiros! Amei o vídeo de vocês, voltem sempre💖
Such a cool experience
One of the coolest we've ever had!
Sambódromo (not sambadromo)!
There are no Ukulele in samba. The instrument you heard is Cavaquinho!
What a PARTY!! I had no idea of what Carnival actually was, thanks for teh education. Until next time... Travel safe.
Not only Africans guys! The carnival has a strong Native American influence all over the country.
YOU TWO ARE SO MUCH FUN!! .. i loved this! … the bright lights made for INCREDIBLE video!! .. ❤️❤️🐕
Carnival is gonna take place now after being postponed, a lot of people have being waiting for this since the pandemic begun.
Belíssimo vídeo
your eyes shiningg awwww so nicee to watch your excitement!!
I am not sure, but I think you saw only the preparation for the official parade. That's because it's free. No problem: everybody says the preparation is better than the official parade, because it's unpretentious, without rules.
Yes, it was the rehearsal! It was still so amazing to watch!
I loved this video. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
Great content, Thanks for sharing your knowledge I'm glad i found your channel, definetly one of the best youtubers i have seen. Keep up the good work
05:26 I do this everytime I see a foreigner 🤣
Simplesmente os gringos malucos na Sapucaí
Jorginete mandando ver hehehe hehehe.... Parabéns Aliança Turismo
Adorei o vídeo, desfilei em uma das escolas que estão no vídeo... Voltem para os desfiles oficiais, vão adorar 👏👏👏
That's so cool!! We'd love to go back and see the official parades someday!
You should come to Rio again one week before carnaval. You will see how crazy things can be with the "blocos" on the streets. And try to stay till the carnaval ends to see the samba schools. So much energy and fun.
Sooooo short ahahahha. I loved it.
Awesome Brasil!!!!
Real carnaval, in Feb or early March takes place with parties and different types of parades all over the city. The one at Sambódromo is the one by schools of samba, it is a competition among several neighbourhoods and communities, as a sort of popular opera, where each school tells a story with music, dance, floats, fancy dresses.
Amazing experience- the greatest carnival in the world 👍
O Brasil é um país gigante! Vocês tem que viajar mais por aqui!
Amazonas
Goiás
Tocantins
Rio Grande do Sul
Rio Grande do Norte
We didn't have much time but we would love to explore more someday!
Verdade! Eu sou de SP mas recomendo Minas Gerais e Goiás as melhores comidas
Vocês são muito fofos!
Unique experience - 👍👏
Yes, it definitely was! We loved it!
8:30 esse frame kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Did vou watch the carnival on the day of the parade? It's amazing!!!
I wish, we weren't there for the actual parade, just the rehearsal! It was still amazing though!
You both are amazing 💖💖🥳⚡
Thanks so much!
Esses vídeos são importantes para a divulgação do nosso carnaval no exterior. 👏👏👏👏
Seja sempre bem vinda , volte sempre para ver nosso espetaculo ....
You guys stayed at the hotel I work at! I am the bell boy that always played with your dog, I don’t know if you’ll remember me! ☺️
Oh my gosh! We 100% remember you! We had such a wonderful stay at the Sheraton and we’ve told several people since that it’s a great, dog friendly hotel, largely because of how nice you always were to our dog. ☺️ thanks for making our time in rio all the better! ❤️
@@chrisandsara I’m glad to know that you guys enjoyed my city, the hotel I work at and my job. I really hope to see you guys again one day, all the three of you ☺️.
Your friends will be more than welcome to stay with us, we’ll do our best to make their stay here as great as yours.
that man was yelling in portuguese lol great video
very good video, you need to come to know the carnival of Bahia (northeast state of Brazil), it is a very different party from the carnival of southeastern Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo).
It is funny as I can understand everything Chris says, but sometimes I have hard time understanding Sara. It is because she talks very fast in some moments. And maybe the way she talks is different from him. LOL
People from the same coutry, same language, same accent, even married!
Haha I (Sara) have been told I talk a little faster than others 😂
Os jurados são no final da pista do sambodromo? Isso é novidade pra mim. Existem 3 cabines de jurados distribuídos pela avenida.
Fun fact: each one of the major Samba Schools (not sure if it applies to the small ones) has its own "drum beat" related to a different orixa* (Google will explain it better than me).
Hello ya'll. ❤
Hey y’all!! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. ☺️ it’s always so good to see your comments come through out here.
@@chrisandsara We are doing really good. My beloved husband is going to be 80 tomorrow. I'm trying to talk him into going out for Mexican food.
Show. But this is just the essay. 👏👏👏
Boa noite pra vcs seu canal está show de bola 👏👏👏👏👏 valeu são Paulo
Thank you!
Nem eu, que sou brasileiro, já tive essa experiência
Nem eu que sou Carioca já tive essa experiência kkkk
Eles tinham q ver o grupo especial
7:34 "man yelling in spanish"
Bro.... serious?
Não é em espanhol é português, ele falou: "genial, uma delícia de empada".
hello chris and sarah, i'm from sao paulo, i'm loving watching you guys strolling through brazil, i'm trying to understand your accent where are you from????
Thanks so much for watching! Sara is from Tennessee, USA and Chris is from Kentucky USA!
Nice video... but just remembering that Brazil is also in America, in this case, in the south of the continent.
niceee I live here but its so expensive
I would like to point out the suggestion that the schools are divided into groups. Elite has 12 schools, gold 12, and it goes down. Only elite and gold got to perform on the main runway. The others perform in a not so “glorious” area called intendente Magalhães (about 40 minutes away from sambódromo).
Each school has a different theme/song every year, and those songs and themes can’t be repeated. Unless they receive authorization to “revive” the song but the school would have to create different costumes and floats.
I’m from Rio, but I live in Florida. I go back home to perform every time I can. Carnaval is my passion, and I can answer some questions if you would like me to do it so.
The judges are along the run way not only at the end. There are 4 cabins and a total of 50-51 judges.
The official competition was held last weekend and the winner of the "grupo especial" (the major league) was announced yesterday. This is what they presented (the full parade). Hopefully it isn't blocked due to copyrights, but, if it does, look for "Grande Rio 2022" (Grande Rio is the name of the samba school, they won for the first time in their history):
th-cam.com/video/TyjXEzCb4eE/w-d-xo.html
Hoje começam os desfiles das Escolas de samba do grupo Ouro e sexta as das escolas especiais.
So exciting!
Venha conhecer João Pessoa no estado da Paraíba.
👍🏻
I noticed that you guys got scared with Dançarina, half naked at the samba schools rehearsal. But in carnival this is common, both in parades and in carnival street parties. At this time it is summer in Brazil, and in Rio it is normally above 40°. I know that for people from other countries it is a shock to see people half naked, on the streets so naturally. but here it's common Both on the beach, and even on streets with more relaxed clothes on normal days. But that's not why you should lose respect, and treat people like objects. It was a great video, you are always welcome. If you return to Rio, I recommend going to Angra dos Reis, Paraty, Cabo Frio, Búzios and Arraial do Cabo. Of course, in the state of Rio, there are other amazing cities too. But these are postcards of the city, outside the city of Rio.
The REAL Carnaval. No one beats Brazilians when it comes to soccer, beautiful, friendly people and Carnaval!
Sara really does look like Penelope Nova.
Actually, there are judges all across the “road” so we need consistency during all the parade.
Vocês ficarão loucos com os desfiles oficiais.
Apenas uma correção: os julgadores não ficam ao final e sim ao longo da pista, em quatro locais mais especificamente.
Vocês não foram no carnaval, esse era apenas um ensaio. Mas já da para curtir a bateria.👍
You need to see carnaval of Salvador too, talk with me in 2023
How about you guys come back next time for the real thing ( we also have the same parade in Sao Paulo ) and then visit the Northeast states and the Amazon area ? It should be amazing
We would LOVE that!! We were hoping to visit the northern states on this trip but Brazil is just so huge we didn't have time. We'll DEFINITELY be back though! We miss Brazil already. :)
You two are so cute 🥰
THEY ARRRREEEE!!!!
Aw thank ya!
How much longer will you be in Rio for?
We've already headed to São Paulo!
Carnival IS THE BIGGEST PARTY in the world!!! But the one on the streets... Salvador had an audience of 16 million within the five days of carnival in 2020, Rio over 3 million and Recife/Olinda (neighboring cities) had 2 and 3.6 million respectively.
.
I think Recife has the greatest diversity, and most complete experience for everyone, although maybe in Rio could better for those who want to watch (the international cliche?) from a bench. There's street carnival in Rio too, as said above, but I fell it's a little more "industrialized" experience. On the flip side salvador and Olinda is where the madness really happens, but I would recommend Olinda before Salvador; not just is a little more participatory, Olinda and Recife are right next to each other... Each one of these are unique tho ;)
Our indigenous peoples (aka Amerindians, or "American Indians") used to walk naked in the forest (many still do, at the indigenous reserves), and many Africans that were captured and sent to Brazil as slaves were also indigenous peoples that walked naked or half naked in Africa. This "indigenous nudity" (both from Amerindians and African Indians) was later incorporated by the Samba schools at their Carnaval parades. It's a form of celebration of these indigenous peoples.
That's why Brazil at one hand is mostly a Christian nation and has a Penal Code which states that being naked or half naked on any public space is a crime designated as _atentado contra o pudor público_ ("attack against the public decency"), but at the same time Samba and Carnaval are such an important part of our culture that, in the context of Carnaval, nudity is considered an art form and expression of our indigenous legacy, instead of an "attack against public decency".
👍
👏 👏 🎊🎉😍😍👌👌
🥰
Ela parece muito a Adriane Galisteu 😅
African immigration? I think you should say: SLAVERY TRADE, right ? No one was an immigrant, they were all slaves that were brought over to Brazil against they will. They gave to all Brazilians culture, food, dance and religion. I’m Brazilian and I wish you said that on video. Thanks
That's true!
