Getting ready for Carnival
03 March 2011
Cape Verde is getting ready for Carnival which this year takes place on 8th March 2011. The Mindelo Carnival on the island of Sao Vicente is possibly the most famous and vibrant in Africa. Although not as well known as Brazil’s Rio Carnival, many of the floats and costumes are just as flamboyant. Whilst the costumes and party atmosphere is very Brazil-like, the music is Cape Verdean. Praia is also organising a carnival on the same date. Watch a video of last year’s Mindelo Carnival on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSx2dKc9ycI&feature=related
