Colorful party demonstrates Brazil's culture

Saturday night at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., the University of Kansas Brazilian Student Association sponsored Carnaval 2000. The annual Carnaval, which is a smaller version of the one that takes place in Brazil, was sold out and attracted about 750 people. The event is in its 23rd year.
People of every color, size and shape showed up for Carnaval this year.
In Brazil, Carnaval takes place sometime before the beginning of Lent and is celebrated with masked balls, parades and lots of Samba music.
Diana Victor, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior and president of the Brazilian Student Association, said that although Brazilians came for the event, it was for everybody. Carnaval is a great way to expose Americans to the richness of Brazilian culture, she said.
"There were so many Americans who came to me by the end of the night and said, 'thank you so much,'" Victor sald.
Green and yellow — the colors of the Brazilian flag — were the colors of the night. Any surface that could be wrapped in streamers were. Balloons of the same colors clung to the ceiling. Green and yellow jerseys of the Brazilian soccer team also were a crowd favorite.
If people were not wearing soccer jerseys, they were wearing next to nothing. Scantily clad women with boas draped on their shoulders were not an uncommon sight. Two partygoers even fashioned a shower curtain to hang around them.
A performance by the Chicago Samba Band was the highlight of the event. The seven-man band had the sweaty crowd bouncing and gyrating from the moment it hit the stage to the moment it left.
Samba music is an integral part of Carnaval. Katherine Santos, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, senior, said it was unique.
"Samba is such a different dancing," she said, "I think people are attracted to it."
When the band took breaks recorded Samba music poured from the speakers, and most of the crowd did not miss a beat.
"It's a really unique rhythm, which I can't really dance to," she said.
Carnaval rocks the Granada
Santos admitted that she had problems keeping up with Samba dancing.
Troy Cook, Lawrence resident, said that even though Lawrence was more diverse than other Midwest cities, it was nice to see
something different.
"I wish that it would grow into a Lawrence thing," he said.
Ashleigh Self. Clearwater senior, said she had not missed a Carnival since she came to the University and had become fascinated with Latin culture.
Santos said Lawrence needed more events to showcase different cultures.
