Asakusa Samba Carnival
It may look surprising to see Brazilian culture in Japan, a country that respects and preserves its own traditions. Some people explain it by the fact that the largest Japanese community outside of Japan is located in Brazil, so it led to cultural influence.

Samba was little-known in Japan before the launch of the festival, but the carnival is now one of Tokyo’s best known events. Most of the performers are young women, but there are kids, men and older performers too, and some of the samba groups are from high schools or universities. Every year, the winning team from the Rio Carnival is invited to Asakusa, and takes part in the parade alongside the local teams.

Bremen Carnival
Germany's biggest samba carnival takes place in Bremen. About 1,400 performers from Samba groups all over Germany and its neighboring countries bring carnival spirit to Bremen. Every year up to 35000 spectators gather along the streets to watch this show. Each year the organizers announce a special topic which is an official theme of the carnival and all performers must follow this theme and prepare their performances accordingly. The in February in Bremen is quite cold and the temperature is about +2°C (36°F). Of course it had a great impact on the show. You will barely see someone in bikini dancing hot Samba music. Everybody is wearing warm jackets and coats. So, this show is definitely different from what you may see in Brazil. However, it has its own charm. People wear different masks, use face paint, various fancy clothes and costumes. If you want to try a special taste of Samba Carnival, then Bremen is the place you should visit.

Coburg Carnival
This carnival takes place in Coburg, Germany, every year on the second weekend in July. Coburg has more advantageous weather conditions in comparison with Bremen, where the carnival takes place while it’s too cold. Probably it’s the reason why Coburg is more popular and is entitled as “Samba city” of Germany. The parade gathers about 200,000 visitors and 3,000 dancers and is one of the biggest Samba Festival outside Brazil today. In 2014, the Festival was pleased to be awarded the title “Best Samba event outside Brazil”, from the Edison Carneiro Prize.

How to Learn Samba?
If you got inspired by the carnival photos and videos, then you probably want to know how to learn Samba? The “Dance For You” studio in Dubai offers a wide range of dance lessons, including Samba. The primary focus of the dance school is ballroom dancing, so it’s not surprise that they offer the ballroom style of Samba. This style is quite different from the Brazilian Samba described in the article above, however, it’s more popular in UAE, Europe and USA. Therefore, it’s not a problem to find a partner or a club to dance. Besides, the ballroom style of Samba is also very beautiful. It’s the same style that you may see on TV shows (such as Dancing with the Stars and others) and it is acknowledged internationally and included into the Latin program of dance competitions and championships.

Asakusa Samba Carnival
PHOTO: Helsinki Samba Carnaval
Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is a place where Brazilian Samba culture has been kindly accepted. Besides of dance school that offer Brazilian Samba dance classes, Helsinki is famous for The Helsinki Samba Carnaval, annual event since 1991. It is organized in the same fashion as in Rio, except the difference that it takes place in June, while original Rio Carnival is in February. The explanation is simple and is related with the weather conditions: Finland is one of the northern countries of European Union, and it’s too cold in February – average temperature is -6°C (22°F). The style of the Carnival, the dress and dances are similar to what you can see in Rio, but there are also some innovations influenced by local culture and traditions which are additionally appended to the event making it unique. The event gathers about 20 – 30 thousands of people and it’s absolutely free! And about 1000 performers participate in the show. It’s really like a Rio Carnival, but on a smaller scale.

There are also some supplementary events, such as Noite das Fantasias – Fantasy Samba Night. It gives opportunity to see the most spectacular carnival costumes in advance, while Samba schools of Finland try to win in the Fantasy Costume competition.

PHOTO: Argentina Carnival – El Carnaval del País
The “El Carnaval del País” is translated as Carnival of the Country and is the largest open-air show in Argentina and is considered to be one of the best carnivals in the world after Rio de Janeiro and Venice (not a Samba Carnival). It takes place every year on Saturdays in January, February and the first Saturday of March in a local Sambadrome of Gualeguaychú city, the same structure as in Rio, but it’s more compact: the street section is 500 meters long and 10 meters wide. The building was constructed in 1997 and has about 30,000 places. Many people arrive to see this event from Buenos Aires (capital of Argentina), Santa Fe and the rest of the country, besides this show is also popular among guests from foreign countries.

]The Samba in particular was considered an expression of freedom and identity of the underprivileged and became a means of liberation. In this battle of costume designers, they sometimes become too enthusiastic and are carried away with their brilliant ideas, so that the resulting costume may look too revealing and unconcealed. Some western media can give a wrong idea of this Carnival by publishing materials with the focus on sexuality or even partial nudity caused by wardrobe malfunction – which may happen during intensive dance moves. Actually it’s absolutely not vulgar, even though the costumes can be quite sexy and spicy.

The dress for the show has bright colors and is very rich for decorations and creative design. The whole style follows minimalistic design and reveals most parts of the body. Usually it consists of a short mini skirt and mini top or even just micro bikini. Feathers are the most popular elements for decorations. They can be used in various ways and can be applied for the skirt, as embellishment for the head, or attached on the back as wings. Spangles and rhinestones are also widely used. The costume is one of the key elements and dress designers try hard and use all their imagination to create a unique special and amazing apparel that will impress the public.
