Today, we're learning about Carnival, something really exciting, right? 00:01:37

Right, so get comfortable and open your imagination to a wonderful world. 00:01:40

So, what is Carnival? 00:01:57

Well, Carnival is a very old tradition that many countries celebrate. 00:01:59

A long time ago, people started celebrating Carnival before Quaresma, Lent in English, 00:02:03

which is a special time before Easter for Christians. 00:02:09

During Carnival, people eat lots of delicious food, wear fun costumes, and have big parties. 00:02:12

Today, some of the most famous Carnival celebrations happen in Brazil, Italy, New Orleans in the U.S., 00:02:17

and, of course, in Tenerife, Spain. 00:02:24

Richard, did you know that the word carnival comes from Latin? 00:02:26

It means goodbye to meat, because in the past, people would stop eating meat during 00:02:31

Quaresma. 00:02:37

Interesting. 00:02:38

Yeah. 00:02:39

Do you know any other fun facts? 00:02:39

Yes. 00:02:42

In Venice, Italy, people wear beautiful masks with feathers and gold. 00:02:43

There is a competition every year for the most beautiful mask. 00:02:48

And when the Venice Carnival was biggest in the 1500s, the carnival started in October. 00:02:52

What about Brazil? Can you tell me anything about the carnival there? 00:02:59

Rio de Janeiro has the largest carnival in the world. 00:03:03

It lasts almost a whole week and there are over 6 million people celebrating. 00:03:07

The Brazilian Carnival is a mix of European, Native American and African cultures. 00:03:13

They have great parades with samba music for the people to watch and dance together 00:03:19

They dress up in elaborate costumes and masks to show their dancing skills 00:03:27

Wow, sounds exciting, I can't wait to listen to some samba music 00:03:34

The city of Rio is twinned with Santa Cruz de Tenerife here in Spain. 00:03:51

This is because Santa Cruz has the second most popular celebration in the world. 00:04:06

Dave set record twice for the biggest concert in a outdoor plaza. 00:04:12

First Celia Cruz in 1987. 00:04:17

And again in 2019 with Juan Luis Guerra. 00:04:23

Me sube la vilirrubina, cuando te miro y no me miras, y no lo quita la pirina, es un amor que contamina. 00:04:27

They also had a competition to elect the Queen of Carnival. 00:04:40

Since 1987, every year has had a different theme. 00:04:45

The first theme was Rome. 00:04:49

This year's theme is Secret of Africa. 00:04:53

Another interesting fact is that during the Franco regime, 00:04:57

Carnival was banned to stop people from showing joy in public. 00:05:02

Luckily, Carnival returned to Tenerife in 1961 and has been a great party ever since. 00:05:06

That's a lot of cool information. Now I have to visit Tenerife. Sounds like a paradise. 00:05:16

and there's one more carnival celebration to talk about in new orleans they celebrate mardi gras 00:05:22

yes mardi gras is a french word it means fat tuesday so it is celebrated the tuesday before 00:05:38

as Wednesday. El miércoles de ceniza. They also have the parade with masks and costumes for the 00:05:50

whole week before as Wednesday. On the day of Mardi Gras, the parades start at eight in the 00:06:01

morning, and the parties last until past midnight. 00:06:11

One of the most famous parts of Merdigra are the bead necklaces and coins, which people 00:06:17

on the parade float through to the crowd's watching. 00:06:25
