Boi-Bumbá
What a show we saw today in Parintins, Brazil! Every year, for three days in June, the city puts on a huge folklore festival called Boi-Bumbá. There are two teams -- Red and Blue -- which compete with each other to win a competition for the best interpretation of a local folk tale.
We were treated to a small version of the real Boi-Bumbá this afternoon -- a one hour show instead of three days. The music was loud, there was a lot of joyous dancing and singing, and the most amazing costumes and floats. The whole experience is a riot of colour, movement, sound, and music. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
