Shuiwei Community in Futian District was once again enveloped in a cocoon of joy and revelry as its Brazilian carnival, which has been on hiatus for about four years due to the pandemic, relaunched with buzzing vibes Saturday night.
The carnival was hosted by Brass House, a Brazilian-Dutch-owned bar located at Shuiwei’s Cultural Block 1368. The party was in full swing at around 8 p.m. as the samba parade kicked off. A barrage of colors and sounds filled the air as Latin music, samba dancers, marching drummers, a brass band and an acrobatic lion dance graced the area. International foods and beverages also kept everyone energized for the huge samba party which lasted until 2 a.m.
