Carnival arrived in Brazil in the colonial period as celebrations and its first carnival manifestation was the Shrovetide, a festival of Portuguese origin.
But it was actually more of a joke, known as “wet game”, since where people prepared containers with liquids (sometimes dirty or with urine) in each other.
As it could happen either on private or public properties, the game soon lost its appeal for many in Brazilian society.
Thus, a movement to end it began in Brazil, disappearing completely at the beginning of the century. XX.
To replace Shrovetide, soon the elite of the time began to organize carnival dances in theaters and clubs, he also organized car parades for a few years.
Meanwhile, the most popular classes were responsible for organizing the first street parades, which at the time looked more like religious processions.
These parades began with the rancho, capoeiras to the sound of bass drums. A few years later they evolved into marchinhas and the samba, which became one of the main musical styles of carnival.
