THREE NIGHTS OF GRITTY, HARD-HITTING AFRO-BRAZILIAN, AFRO-LATIN, AFRO-CUBAN, AFROBEAT, FUNK AND REGGAE MUSIC. FEATURING BAY AREA'S TOP BANDS AND DJ'S.
BRING YOUR DANCING SHOES!
There is a popular belief that in Brazil the year only starts after Carnvial.
Be this an exaggeration or not, there is not much else being talked
about on the country's blogosphere: everyone is dusting off their
costumes, getting into the mood and counting down the days for the
biggest street party on Earth.
Carnival Roots
The origins of carnival date back to the ancient Greek spring festival
in honor of Dionysus, the god of wine. The Romans adopted the
celebration with Bacchanalia (feasts in honor of Bacchus, the Roman
equivalent to Dionysus), and Saturnalia, where slaves and their masters
would exchange clothes in a day of drunken revelry. Saturnalia was
later modified by the Roman Catholic Church into a festival leading up
Ash Wednesday. It quickly evolved into a massive celebration of
indulgences - one last gasp of music, food, alcohol, and sex before
Lent - before the 40 days of personal reflection, abstinence, and
fasting until Easter (not exactly what the Church probably had in
mind). 40 days of purging sins, preceded by a week filled with
virtually every known sin. The word itself comes from Latin, "Carne
Vale" or "Farewell to the Flesh".
Join for three nights of gritty, hard-hitting, Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Latin, Afro-Cuban, Afrobeat, Reggae and Funk music. Featuring Bay Area's hottest live bands and Dj's. Carnival Fever will take place May 23-25th at 12 Galaxies and in San Francisco.
