during the carnival period, there are
hundreds of
parties taking the streets of rio de janeiro - While these street parties could seem
to be all the
same, they are in fact
divided by types.
blocos de embalo and empolgação
are the first to show up, to warm up the crowds often before
blocos de enredo,
that have strict rules and even organize parades where they compete
against one another.
blocos dos sujos are the exact opposite of
blocos de enredo, as
they are by definition chaotic and disorganized.
