Afro Latino influenced parades and carnivals
I've become fascinated with Afro Latino music, so now I want to know about African influenced carnivals and parades. Also is the Brazilian Rio de Janeiro partly Afro influenced?

Growing is apart of life.Changing is apart of growth.Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy. If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading
Africandescendents : Never complain without looking at yourself. look Beyond the worldly things to get a full picture. treat people the way you want to be treated!

^ It's Carnival. And it's not specifically Afro-Latino.

Really? Some of the dances resemble African dances especially in Congo.
And are they Native influenced? The headdress reminded me of a Native styled headdress.
Very nice! so elaborate.

A perfect example is "Punta", not Afro-"Latino", but Afro-Amerindian:

lol nope. Well then again, Caribbeans have done parades and carnivals around. My city had these parades but they weren't the same at all, I wish they were though.

In the last video, what is that horse looking thing that the man is in? Reminds me of the donkeys and horses they use in Chinese carnivals.
oh and side note, this PR girl said that mos Puerto Ricans will identify as White even if they are brown skin? They prefer a white identity. Do you agree?

oh yea, i did say African influenced but I do mean in Latin America. I would change the title to make it broader to the Diaspora, but maybe that should be a separate thread. hmm....

yeaaa still highly Afro influenced although it obviously have other influences as well. Seems to be influenced by its Eastern neighbors, is that true?
