Feburary 2, 2008, 9pm. At the Palmer Events Center it's the 2008 Carnaval Brasileiro! Carnaval Brasileiro is now an Austin institution. A small party has grown into a giant public bash, Brazilians who needed a celebration, local individuals to nurture it along the way, a radio program to promote its music, a series of bands to play the music, and, above all, enough Austinites who feel the magic and keep coming back for more. Come and join us for Carnival!
Carnaval has emerged and thrived in Austin, because long ago it became a city of open attitudes and spontaneity, due in large part to the university influence. Now that bohemian attitude has mixed with just enough business sense and hard work to make music happen in a way that is attracting attention from around the world. Perhaps the greatest monument to that spirit-the Armadillo-is now just a memory. But Austin's Carnaval Brasileiro, our peculiar winterfest of flesh and fantasy, was nurtured in that unique semi-cohesive, culture-conscious environment, and still flowers every February.
