an experience in facts and fiction, myth and reality, being in the world as an insiderout. my subjective view, hopefully with enough objectivity to get your attention

Name: Monica Alves
I was born in Brazil but lived all over the place, Algeria, France, England, Europe in general, never been to the US though.By the time I came back to Brazil i had an 8 yrs old son and was a single parent. This moment in my life is a new beggining. My boy is 25 and all grown up (or so he thinks...) So this is a time for myself and I'm really looking forward to next 50 years...

and there is nothing else but Carnival. That's all you see and hear and view on TV. the innescapable outburst of humanity of all classes and shades of colour. the ultimate expression of the imaginary of my country. For 4 days there is just play (brincar. In the samba schools contest and in the streets. So I'll just post some pictures and wish I could give you some sounds as well but I don't have enough space to upload the music. So get you imagination going and enjoy...
PS: If anyone wants some songs to listen to just contact me via msn (medusamva@hotmail.com)For more carnival pictures just click on any of the photos and you'll be taken to my Media Page.
