o carnaval está chegando :: carnaval is coming!!!
recentemente eu fui para "rosas de ouro"...uma escola de samba em são paulo...com amigos do banco....
antes do carnaval as escolas fazem festas para que a bateria possa praticar e os torcedores possam aprender a música deste ano....também para ganhar dinheiro para apoiar a escola
estas festas estão cheias de energia, música, suor, orgulho e dança...e diversidade...
à parte do estádio de futebol, escolas de samba são os lugares únicos onde eu pude ver negros, brancos, ricos e pobres...juntos...divertir-se...gente fala que "o samba faz o pobre rico"...talvez o banco precise de uma estratégia de samba para melhorar a diversidade ;)
normalmente a festa começa com uma apresentação dos organizadores e do mestre-sala e da porta-bandeira...nesta festa pessoas inclusive beijaram a bandeira da escola também


recently i went to "Golden Roses"...a samba school in são paulo...with some friends from work...before carnaval, the schools hold parties where the percussion band can practice and the supporters of the school can learn this year's song...also it is a way for the school to raise money
these parties are filled with energy, music, sweat, pride and dance....and diversity!
apart from football stadiums, samba schools are the only places where i have seen blacks, whites, rich and poor together, having fun...they say that "samba makes the poor rich"...maybe the bank needs a samba strategy to improve diversity!
normally the party starts with a small parade for the organizers of the party, and the dance master and the flag-bearer (the most important dancer of the parade)...at this party people even kissed the school's flag
