Carnival Part 2 – Rio
Carnival with Marcel’s
Part #2 – DJ Lorah
Day 2 of our Carnival frenzy was set on the streets of Rio – with streamers and balloons and extravagant floats rolling through the crowds.
(This was an old set I had made some time ago and due to the very short notice I was given to throw together 3 separate sets in less than a week 😕 I didn’t have time to tweak this one as well as I would have liked. The basic background street was fine, but the floats were built a couple of years ago when my building skills were somewhat more limited, which meant that due a slight…technical hitch…they had a tendency to keep crashing into one another if I didn’t keep an eye on them and keep adjusting them. Fortunately, it was carnival, so I could blame it on the rum! 😉 )
And here’s a little suitable background music to help you join in the samba line!
The guys danced late into the night and crawled home in the early hours to recharge their energy, in time for the grand finale event on the last night…
Carnival Part 1 – Bourbon Street, New Orleans
Welcome to Carnival with Marcel’s – Day #1
Mardi Gras in Bourbon Street, New Orleans
with DJ Rhia “Blues Mamma” Colclough
We kicked off our three day Carnival extravaganza by turning the side alley next door to the bistro into a replica of the New Orleans Bourbon Street, classic home of Mardi Gras. With illuminated house windows and brightly coloured flowers in the window boxes, our guests came and shimmied in their finest Carnival feathers and beads, to the sounds of the lovely DJ Rhia playing a selection of bluesy jazzy street music.
As usual, everyone went all out with their costumes and the feathers were flying all evening….
It was the perfect start to the Carnival celebrations and got everyone in the mood for lots more music and dancing – which we were happy to provide…
It’s Carnival Time!
