Following a few quick cocktails on the top floor of Leo Burnett, we were pulled into a conference room and shown a rather incredible presentation about our Brazilian office, detailing their new business model and projected growth numbers for the coming year. There's nothing like new blood to infuse a business with new energy. At the very tail end of the presentation, we were told there was a surprise waiting for us, and Tailor Made CEO Paulo Giovanni threw open the doors to reveal a crew of drummers and 7 statuesque women in full-on carnavale costumes. A righteous, riotous party ensued.... The crew was from the Vai Vai Samba School, a championship escola de samba here in Sao Paulo.... Wow. Carnavale has long been something I've longed to experience first hand, because there are no people in the world who know how to party like the Brazilians. Gotta love a people that take their beats seriously.intricate rhythms & fine women unleashing skin
rhinestones & feathers & a carefully orchestrated din
drummers & dancers doing their thing
dripping samba so sexy that the sight of it stings
Below is an online documentary clip made for Georgian TV about the Vai Vai Samba School during Carnavale... It's not in English but have a look anyway, you get the gist of it quickly...
