Brazil Carnival fascination: Samba music

It’s wonderful to listen to the samba-enredo being sung without percussion, because when the
percussion comes in, it’s like a dam bursting. There’s nothing like that initial explosive entrance of
the full percussion section—over 300 percussionists executing their parts with absolute precision.
Seeing carnaval from samba school perspective is what it must be like for an astronaut
experiencing space flight for the first time, from the initial blast of ignition to the surreal feelings of
weightlessness and viewing everything from an unimaginable perspective.
