Brava/Carnaval: Electric trio with island musicians and DJs are the main attractions of King Momo's party

An electric trio, with the participation of some musicians from the island, queen of drums and DJ's, will be some of the attractions of Carnival on Ilha Brava, which this year has the parade of an official group.

Speaking to Inforpress, Edson Miranda, cultural activist, explained that this initiative dates back to 2007, organized by a group of young people who studied in São Vicente and decided to give a shine to the Carnival of Brava.

Since that date, said the activist, this activity has been carried out every year, but with adaptation to today's reality, justifying that in the beginning it was all free and the artists participated "with panache" and willingness to celebrate Shrovetide.

But, these days, Miranda has shown that everything has to be paid for, from the artists, to the stage, sound equipment, cars to drive around the streets of the island, among others.

Hence, he underlined that they changed the model of this activity that was previously done in the streets and everyone could participate, to a closed place, thus allowing the organization to raise some money for expenses that is not always enough, as there is not much support and incentives.

And in this regard, Edson Miranda calls for greater engagement on the part of young people to try to maintain a bit of brightness in the island's Carnival, which he thinks is complicated, since not even official groups to participate in the parades have already seen the island. that this year only the Furna Carnival Group will participate.
