The Salvador Carnival in Brazil is the largest street event on the planet
A record-breaking street party at the Salvador Carnival, officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the largest street event on the planet.
For the seventh consecutive year, Alok leads the elétrico trio, leading them through the historic streets and transforming the celebration into a huge open-air electronic music celebration.
From above the city becomes an infinite sea of people.
Brazil not only hosts the largest street party on Earth, but turns it into a global electronic music extravaganza.
In Salvador, Bahia, the historical capital of Afro-Brazilian culture, the event attracts over two million people every year.
What distinguishes the Bahia Carnival, not only from other Brazilian carnivals, but also from those in the rest of the world, is that its celebrations take place entirely in the street. The famous and reluctant “trio elétrico” trucks, mobile stages with speakers mounted on them, lead the processions at full volume. Dancers wander around these vehicles on the streets. Unlike Rio de Janeiro shows that take place in stadiums, for which a ticket is required, here everything takes place on the street, it is free and completely inclusive.
