Carnival is king in Salvador, Brazil (APP.com): "Rhythm rules in Salvador, Brazil, a seaside city long known as the capital of Afro-Brazilian culture, or more simply as the "Black Rome" — and not only during Carnival.The uninitiated could easily mistake the seemingly endless series of shows and festivals in the run-up to Carnival for the actual event. But Carnival itself is unmistakable — with some 2.5 million people clogging the city's main avenues and dancing behind more than 200 bands that ply the city's streets on top of enormous sound trucks, night and day."
