Barra Circuit:

Carnival 2011 starts Thursday, March 3rd, and it runs

through Tuesday, March 8th -- officially. Unofficially

(and actually) it runs to the morning of Ash

Wednesday, March 9th, and then continues in the

arrastão (roundup) of Timbalada, which starts

Wednesday morning at the Farol da Barra and winds its

way along Avenida Oceanica to Ondina. The arrastão,

which started over a decade ago and was only

Timbalada for the first couple of years, has now seen

other people and blocos jump on the the bandwagon

(quite literally). It's grown to include at least three trios

and blocos, winding up early Wednesday afternoon,

and then there you are at Ondina's lovely beach, where

the party continues...

6th Sunday – 7th Monday – 8th Tuesday

The Camaleão trio elétrico, or sound-wired truck, has been voted The Best Bloco in their circuit several times.

Since 1990, Camaleão has paraded with Chiclete com Banana, one of the

most successful bands in Salvador Carnival

Blocos/Abadás:

4th Friday – 5th Saturday

The legendary Salvador band created by Carlinhos Brown with

reinvented sonorities for the timbal, had been around for five

years before it branched off as a bloco in Salvador Carnival.

Bloco Timbalada was a hit the moment it first hit the streets in

1995.

4th Friday – 6th Sunday – 8th Tuesday

Bloco Afro Olodum mixes reaggae –samba with lots of

perscussion. Olodum celebrated 30 years in 2010 and is

famous for its participation with Michael Jackson in 1995.
