Carnival

Carnival music is a vibrant and diverse genre that blends traditional folk, brass, samba, and festive electronic influences to create an energetic, celebratory sound. Rooted in global carnival traditions, it features rhythmic percussion, call-and-response vocals, and theatrical elements, often performed by large ensembles such as comparsas, blocos, and brass bands. Lyrically, carnival music can be humorous, satirical, or politically charged, reflecting local cultural themes. Whether through the upbeat melodies of Cádiz’s chirigotas or the driving rhythms of Brazilian samba brass, the genre embodies joy, spectacle, and community spirit.
