2007 Carnival in Rio de Janeiro

The Rio de Janeiro street carnival has began in November. Except Escravos da Mauá, which performs monthly all year long, we remark that Suvaco do Cristo made two rehearsals, Escravos da Mauá and Simpatia presented their t-shirts for 2007 carnival, Barangal promoted a party to choose its t-shirt illustration and Monobloco performed in Christmas day. Carnaval Virtual's site was not updated during this period, we apologize for that, but we attended the following events: a presentation of the Recife Carnival at Ipanema Beach, we traveled in the Samba Train in December 2nd, the National Samba Day, and we were at the presentation of the 2007 Simpatia T-shirt, which was illustrated by the painter Mauricio Arraes, an old friend of our site - have a look in the site Gallery. We are working hard to update our site. The event calendar was updated and this blog initiated to improve the communication with our public. Wait for other news that will come soon.
