With the long dark nights and the cold icy weather outside we are all in need of a little warmth. Thankfully, a touch of summer heat and joy is coming to Tallinn (February 14) and Tartu (March 8) in the form of a spectacular Brazilian Carnival show. The colourful show will be a fusion of south American music and dance.
Led by Rodriga Manfrinatti and Rafael Nascimento, the Brazilian Carnival show features musical pieces such as the iconic ‘Lambada’ by Kaoma, and ‘Mas que nada’ by the Black Eyed Peas. The stage will also come alive with the graceful movements of Brazilian dancers choreographed by Vanessa Rufino, Mailevis Ortega, and Roka Broski.
With a commitment to authenticity and splendour, the international team behind the show aims to transport audiences to the heart of the Rio de Janeiro carnival.
Tickets for the show in Tallinn on February 14 and in Tartu on March 8 are still available at Piletilevi.
