How can we brazilians explain Carnaval? I was never able to find enough or right words for that because there just isn´t any kind of explanation that can transmit or describe its meaning or how it really is. You gotta be there and experience it to feel it! One thing we know for sure: it´s “an explosion of joy and happiness” how we say in Brazil, “uma explosão de alegria e felicidade”. Just come and “Caia na Folia”! Then let me know how it was.
