Description
While it still lacks the international prestige of Rio de Janeiro's, Sao Paulo's Carnival has been gaining recognition in recent years.
"Sao Paulo’s Carnival has expanded significantly, both financially and in attracting visitors from outside," Junior Dentista, director of the Mocidade Alegre samba school, tells AFP.
Though its sambadrome has less capacity than Rio's famous Sapucai, Sao Paulo is going all in on its parades, which will be broadcast live across Brazilian media and social networks, just ahead of the festivities in the "Cidade Maravilhosa." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
