What differences are there between the carnival in Portugal and the carnival in Brazil?
The songs can be the main difference. While in Brazil, more especially in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, the samba plot is the hottest thing, in Portugal the songs can be different
Origin of Portuguese Carnival
For those who think that Carnival in Portugal imitates that of Brazil, the truth is that it is not, the celebrations began in the country at the time of the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, who celebrated, at this time of year, the rebirth of nature
Thus, Carnival emerged as a consecrated celebration, in honor of what would be the gods of fertility and light. The parties and rituals coincided with the preview of spring and were directly connected to the need for good harvests, in the fields and in the countryside.
Dear @name0 !
East Asians like me tend to think that Carnival in Brazil is the largest and most famous in the world.
Brazil's black and white mixed -blooded beauty was shocking and attractive to me!
Portuguese's carnivals felt more ascetic than Brazil.
I agree with your claim that Portugal's carnival is older than Brazil!
