    What a fantastic experience! Thanks Renato for being such a good guide and host and turned out a real party figure! We’ve been lucky as it was the time for the technical rehearsal in the Sambodromo (the venue where the carnival take place) so it was like a mini carnival for us looking at the wonderful show the Mocidade Alegre samba school delivered. The fun did not stop here, as we joined a real samba party with Sociedade Rosas de Ouro samba school. Watching all singing together in circle around the musicians, feel how much more samba is then a dance and how brings people all together. Agains, special thanks to Renato!
