Comment from Carlos Stucky
I always wondered how Dionysus or Bacchus would feel if they ever had the chance to be in Rio during their season… I would guess, not disappointed!
Other than being considered the greatest show on earth, referring to the Sambadrome parades, it is also the most democratic one. From 0 Brazilian Reals to Hundreds of Thousand ones, the entertainment is shaped. From the streets to the most sophisticated masquerade balls, it is a tradition that dates back to 1840.
