Gustavus Adolphus College will host the Brazilian Carnival festival from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on February 26 in Alumni Hall.
Sponsors of the event include on-campus organizations such as Organization of Latin American and Spanish Cultures (OLAS), Campus Activities Board (CAB), the Department of Modern Languages, the Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies (LALACS), Diversity Leadership Counsel (DLC) and the Diversity Center.
OLAS co-chairs Senior Janet Montes-Osorio and Sophomore Daniel Martin have been working very hard to organize the event since the beginning of the year.
The festival will include a 12-person band, Beira Mar Brazil, led by locally and globally appreciated guitarist, singer and songwriter, Robert Everest.
Their performance will feature three special guests. Dandara is an accomplished vocalist and dancer. She grew up in Bahia, Brazil and has performed internationally in her authentic Brazilian costumes for major festivals, including the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. She has also performed in various Brazilian Carnival events throughout the U.S.
The performance will feature two professional Samba dancers, Edilson Lima and Vanessa Luiz from Sao Paulo, Brazil. They “will add incredible energy to this event,” Montes-Osorio said.
In addition to the performances, Professor of Sociology/Anthropology & LALACS Patric Giesler and his wife, Leia, a native of Brazil, will give a lecture talking about African influence in Brazil, which will include an extensive slideshow of Brazilian Carnivals and festivities.
“The Brazilian Carnival festival is a celebration of the Brazilian culture and its traditions. It’s an annual festival, which is held 46 days before Easter,” Montes-Osorio said.
“In the words of Giesler, ‘it’s the beginning of doing everything that needs to get done before Lent starts.” Montes-Osorio said.
“Brazilian Carnivals come in many different styles such as Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Bahia, Pernambuco and Minas Gerais. Our event will embody the Rio de Janeiro style, which is characterized by colorful parades, flamboyant costumes and festive dancing.”
Those who attend the event will be served the national cocktail, Caipirinha, which is a traditional Brazilian drink, made with cachaça (sugar cane rum). Coxinha, an appetizer made from shredded chicken and spices and encased in wheat flour crust, will also be served. For dessert, everyone will be served Brazilian chocolate bonbons.
