Carnival of Flavors
\n \;
\nCarnival is a cross-cultural exchange between European Christian traditions and African influences. In Southern Europe during the Middle Ages processions and masquerades were an important part of the Catholic religion\, and most celebrations happened in February\, before lent (the word &ldquo\;carnival"\; means goodbye to meat).
\nOther roots for carnival come from more ancient times\, and can be traced to African festivals that also celebrated religious activities such as the harvests or festivities in honor of their spirits and ancestors.
\nIt is in South America and the Caribbean that the traditions merged\, because of the Europeans conquering the New World and the African slaves that kept their traditions alive with music and drumming\, and the use of masks and feathers for their festivities.

\nThe Center of American and World Cultures welcomes you to experience a taste of Carnival in Brazil.
