(3) K-3 Although Ancona spotlights the town of Olinda, all of Brazil celebrates carnaval, the annual five-day festival honoring its three main cultures: indigenous, European, and African. The text comprehensively explains the festival's traditions, but it's the color photos--of seamstresses, mask-makers, artists, musicians, dancers, and celebrants of all ages in full regalia--that bring this gaudy, glorious event to life.
