Carnival in Brazil


 

Trio Eletrico

 

In 1950, two friends decided to adapt an old car so that they could play their instruments during the carnival through the streets of Salvador. It was a success: hundreds of people followed the two friends in their car which amplified the sound of their instruments.

The following year, the duo added another member, thus forming a trio. They adapted a new car, a little bigger, and added a plaque introducing them: The Electric Trio. Due to the success of the idea, several other groups also copied it and began parading on top of a car adapted to amplify the band's sound. And thus the concept of Electric Trio was born.
