Olinda Vassourinhas

This is the actual news story from TV Brasil! 

More Carnaval

The scene during Carnaval was non stop!  We had constant music on the street and at the Pousada!  The band would take a break when blocos were passing to avoid conflict.  It is a law in Olinda to turn off any music including bands when blocos pass.  TV Brasil was doing a story on foreigners in Olinda for Carnaval, and how Olinda's Carnaval anthems are ingrained into even Americans!  Our French friends Sylvie and Cecile were interviewed as well, and they emailed me the clip from the show!  They were generous enough to give me all their photos and video clips since my camera got destroyed.
