New Year Year's Eve in Copacabana is a beautiful collective party in Rio. The people, dressed in white, filled the entire border and, at midnight, beginning a show of burning fireworks.
One of the biggest New Year's Eve celebrations in the world. The year ends with an explosive New Year and Feast of Yemaya.
In Rio, the New Year celebration involves the entire city. Residents and visitors fraternize infected by the same euphoria.
And you can see how it was during the twenties, an excerpt from the new year:
"When night fell, the flames of the candles shone on the sand out of sight. Roses, iris and white carnations freshly cut invaded the beach, with its light and the stars. The scent of Bahian cuisine, with its strong smell of palm oil and chilli, mixed with iodine and fragrances of flowers. To wait for midnight guitars also flourished in the hands of musicians. There was still time Miracle of trance. It was the moment of languid nostalgia and saudade, during which all the inhabitants resembled, in every fiber of being, the distant Africa. Besides these older blacks, who still wore in his body the marks of the whips and chains, none of Rio had never seen the coast of Africa. But everyone knew that, behind the waves of the Atlantic, burned the motherland and that in this night of December 31, they would be more than ever, the daughters and sons of Africa who had seen the birth of their ancestors.
