1995 Carnaval, Dança De Attleboro, MA (1)

1995

The video begins with the announcer asking for attention and silence from the audience, and then he introduces the Attleboro performance and discusses the people who organized the dance. The dance is about two liars, one being Brazilian and the other being Azorean. The group of performers then begin their dance while accompanied by guitars and accordions. The tambourine dancer also performs with a whistle and sings the solos. Throughout the performance, the dance will pause while other actors partake in a comical theatrical performance before the dances and music resume. The dancers wear feather-rimmed hats and the tambourine dancer performs in all white.
