 Grand Finale of Carnival in Rio Features Parade of Feathers + Glitter Published: Feb 26, 09 Views: 3,093 Rio de Janeiro’s viral 2009 pre-Easter Carnival wrapped up with the annual grand Gay Gala Ball. This is a similar, but more lavish celebration than Mardi Gras in North America. This year, more than a half-million Brazilians and tourists gathered in Rio de Janeiro’s Ipanema Beach for the last street party, the Samba Parade and Ipanema Band. Music at the Rio Carnival is samba. It is uniquely Brazilian music that originated in Rio and a dance form invented and perfected by poor Afro-Brazilians. The Gay Gala Ball is in its 29th year. Male participants arrived at the party in glitter, evening gowns, sexy lingerie, and feathered head pieces.  One of the greatest elements of the Rio Carnaval is that it not only provides entertainment for many people around the world but at the same time it gives also a chance to learn about the true culture of Brazil. Carnival is very important to the Brazilians being their very rich cultural manifestation.
