Yes, yes! Carnival in Rio is arriving in full power mode. More than ever,
Brazil´s street parties were revitalized and today most of the young, beautiful and tanned remain at the wonder city to take part in some of the 300 "
Blocos de Rua", translated freely as Rio Street Groups or Rio Street Bands. Just like last year, Belavista-Rio Carnival Brazil prepared a full list of the
Top Street Bands/Blocos de Rua for the 2009 Rio Carnival. The Street Groups/Blocos de Rua presented in this list were separated by days, so you can pick in an easier manner, your free carnival street partying.
In this year list, we will add a special mark to high-light the best "Blocos de Rua"/ Street Bands in Rio for each given carnival day. Next to the name of the Street Band we consider unbeatable for that day, we emphasized the list with the phrase: “Top Street Band ”.
If you are not really familiar with the definition of this Brazil Carnival
popular expression of street parties, please read at the end of the post a more formal explication of the
Rio Street Bands. As a more simple definition, we could say the
Street Bands – Blocos de Rua are purposely less organized, structured and have a different objective than traditional samba schools´ parades.
Rio StreetBands ( Blocos de Rua ) include brass instruments in their orchestra and invite everyone that shows up to joins in. Rio´s street bands also have a pre-determined marching route, where the orchestra is followed by the energetic samba dancers. Partiers may come dressed in costumes, bathing suits, plain clothes, special T-shirts, or even in drag. This is the best thing of the Street-Bands, everyone is free to its own style and will. This is by far, Rio´s most popular, democratic and vibrant carnival expression in the wonder city, according to Belavista´s Editor!
In this complete guide of the
2009 Rio Street Bands, you will be able to identify the Blocos/ Bands by neighborhood too. There is partying much all over town: Ipanema, Copacabana, Botafogo, Flamengo, Vila Isabel, Leblon , Santa Teresa...There is even a street band at the Paquetá Island!
Pick your favorite
>Rio Street Group< and join in!
There are 109 blocos in Rio to chose from in this list!!

Definitions for Rio Street-Groups, Blocos:
Rio Streetbands, in Portuguese “Blocos de Rua”, after slowly growing for many years, have emerged as both a great spectator attraction and opportunity to become part of the Carnival on the streets of Rio de Janeiro.
The legendary Bloco Bola Preta now draws a street crowd of 200,000! Simpatia e Quase Amor from Ipanema is now drawing 100,000. Monobloco's parade closing out the Carnaval season the Sunday after Shrove Tuesday at noon in front of Leblon beach may set record crowds in 2008
Since 2004, the streetbands have exploded with well over 300 blocos. The boom in blocos began with the growth in the internet as we closed out the last millennium and is part of Rio de Janeiro's determination to be a leading capital of global culture as we move forward into the new age.
Avenida Rio Branco, in the center of downtown Rio, exclusively for the parades of big organized Blocos. These are street carnival groups, celebrating carnival in a much more informal way than the big samba schools. You can participate along with everyone else, instead of sitting on concrete stands watching an organized parade.
This is the heart of the "Rio´s Street Carnival” which includes the greater likelihood of Locations playing percussion instruments with their friends at their favorite hangout as well as the Bandstands and the many Parades of downtown's Rio Branco Avenue. These events are inclusive and practice for the musicians begins months before the Carnaval and the parades do not end until Sunday of the following weekend.
The Rio de Janeiro free street carnival begins in November. The street carnival is structured in groups named: bloco, cordon, band or rancho but they are really about simple fun with others. If you wander in the zona sul districts of Gávea, Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana and Botafogo during the Carnaval you will often find them hanging out prior to parading. This is known as the period of Concentration. Most bands also have official T-shirts for sale on the spot for about US$10, to help with the costs.
What exactly are
street blocks, or as we say in Brazil, "
Blocos de Rua"? According to some definition found at the web: "The street carnival are structured in groups named: block, cordon, band or rancho. A
Carnival Street Parade are created like this: a friend’s group, who lives together by some interest: neighbourhood, same wok place, leisure, etc.. had regular meetings to decide about the name, colors, and flag which were be used in the parade"
Another definition from the web: "The difference between a banda and a bloco is that in a banda the orchestra plays well-known Carnival hits, the marchinhas. These are songs that everybody can sing along, and some have been around since the Carmen Miranda days. Cordao da Bola Preta is a reference, around since 1918. Banda de Ipanema is the most traditional South Side banda in Rio. In a bloco there is a special theme song that they choose every year. There may be meetings where songs are presented, just like in a Samba School. These rehearsals create a sort of camaraderie and, of course, a great excuse to party! Monobloco is the largest bloco today with Simpatia coming a close second.. "
We decided to post the most famous and trendy street blocos of Rio de Janeiro 2008 Carnival. There are so may options you can´t say you couldn´t make it.
We included in this special
list, the name of the "bloco" , the time its starts, the address, and its neighborhood.
The best thing: they are all free!
