A BRAZILIAN CARNAVAL

So you weren’t (unless you’re lucky) in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador or São Paulo for Carnaval this year. The good news is that you’ve got great options for celebrating Carnaval right here. Gorge yourself on the sights and sounds of an authentic Brazilian Carnaval at this year’s Phoenix Festival. Methow Arts director Amanda Jackson Mott selected this year’s vibrant theme to connect with the resiliency of our community along with our fans’ appreciation of dance, diverse cultures and high quality entertainment. Eduardo Mendonça, Show Brazil’s organizer, is a singer, guitarist and percussionist. He brings four multi-instrumentalists and four dancers and two Capoeira artists. They mix traditional rhythms with contemporary styles from across Brazil, to booty-shaking effect.
