1995 Carnaval, Baile De Lawrence, MA

1995

The video begins with the announcer introducing the dance group. The group of performers then begin their dance while accompanied by guitars, castanets, and accordions. A man in the center dances with a baton and sings solo, including a song about missing the Azores, as the other dancers sing in a chorus with him. Throughout the performance, the dance will pause while the dancers and other actors partake in a comical theatrical performance about a separating couple before the dances and music resume. The dancers wear formal dress with vests and the baton dancer wears a white feathered hat.
