For weeks the people of the Brazilian town of Olinda have been sewing costumes, painting masks, and creating giant puppets--preparing for "carnaval. "Like Mardi Gras in New Orleans, "carnaval" is a five-day festival of parades, dancing, and singing. But unlike Mardi Gras, Olinda s "carnaval" still celebrates the traditions and folklore of the people and the shared cultures--indigenous, European, and African--that make up Brazil. As generations have done each year, the people of Olinda and their visitors give themselves over to the music, dance, and joy of "carnaval."
