Since we're so far away from Brazil, I'll try to bring Brazilian Carnival to Latina Viva. Let's celebrate!

I've found this on YouTube: a slide show with beautiful images from Rio de Janeiro's Carnival. Hot, barely naked women; colorful, rich costumes; joy, energy, power, movement... everything that makes Brazilian carnival a unique, fun, exhilarating celebration.

The music - Aquarela do Brasil, by Gal Costa - is a traditional, popular hymn about Brazil. I love this song, like most Brazilians; it's a love song for the country.

If you don't know anything about Rio de Janeiro's Carnival, this slide show will give you a pretty good idea.
