Unidos da Tijuca are Rio Carnival 2010 champions

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:54:26 +0000

To the surprise of most of us, Unidos da Tijuca (which reads something like “Tijuca United” – Tijuca is a neighborhood in Rio westside) are crowned champions of Rio Carnival 2010, after a very very long wait (their last and only title was in 1936).

Yes, it was a surprise. Whoever watched the parade on the first day was certainly touched by the remarkable performance, which we considered the main highlight of the spectacle here at Carnival Rio. Their theme, “secrets”, featured lots of beautiful cars and costumes, like Mafia boys, Michael Jackson, heroes and others. A performance that made Unidos da Tijuca one of the main contenders, one that made the public love them. A deserved title for an outlier.

Watch the champions performance below!

While we wait for the results from Carnival Rio 2010 – which is decided by votes casted by a commission similar to that which chooses among Oscar or Grammy nominees – Sao Paulo already have their champion, Rosas de Ouro (Golden Roses) which paid a homage to Mexico and to chocolate.

While Sao Paulo carnival is not as much fashioned as Rio, the quality of the performances is pretty much similar. The decision is also voted by a commission, like that of Rio.

Rio Carnival parades have just started last night with some of the favorites showing their fancy cars and allegories in high style. A particular highlight was shown by Unidos da Tijuca, one of the main contenders, which has bringen in some secrets to be revealed only during the parade, having performers changing their clothes right on the ground. Unidos da Tijuca also paid a homage to Michael Jackson and showed an Italian mob section, something that appeals to americans in particular.

If you are mexican, Viradouro has also paid a homage to you. Diego Rivera performed in this parade dedicated to the mexican people. Other highlights are Beija Flor – who told the story of Brasilia, the 1960-founded capital city of Brazil, a grandiouse, monumental planned town that today is home to more than 2 million people – and Salgueiro, the current champion, who had books in general as the main theme.

The model Solange Frazão will not participate in Carnaval 2010

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:57:43 +0000

The personal trainer and model Frazão Solange decided not to parade by any school of samba during Carnival 2010. The decision came because she considers the production of associations very disorganized.

In an interview with columnist Odair Del Pozzo (Portal Terra), she said she was already in tears because of this. “I came to cry during the parade on behalf of so much clutter,” said the girl.

Solange is not sad because she chose to celebrate the date of the carnival with her boyfriend, the young Luiz Balcers, with whom she will be in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador.

And don’t count on last time deal cheap flights. Rio are expecting a record attendance this season, so people are unlikely to quit their tickets.

Rio Carnival will be on February 14th this year (Rio Samba Parade will be on 14th-15th Feb), but you must arrive earlier and depart later if you want to enjoy the city and avoid the most busy times on airports (many brazilian do short time trips, so airports are near their maximum capacity around this date).If you stay for two weeks, by arriving on Feb 7th and departing on Feb 21st, you’ll have a lot of fun without much hassle.

A good place to find flights to Rio is Travelocity website. Travelocity has prices on hotels too but you better double check it. While there are cheap hotels in Macae, you’re strongly advised to find a hotel in Southern Side (Zona Sul) in Rio de Janeiro city, where everything happens in carnival. Macae is almost 120 miles away, so be careful.

You’re likely to find, as of now, flights from £ 530.00 (TAM, departing from London. Check link above) and hotels from around £2,300.00.
