Bahian Carnival: An Unforgettable Party Celebrating Brazil’s African Roots | SLICE

The Salvador de Bahia Carnival is more than just a party—it’s a powerful celebration of Brazil’s largest Black community and its deep African heritage. A vibrant fusion of music, dance, and spirituality, this street festival has grown into a cultural and economic phenomenon since the late 1980s.

In the days leading up to the festivities, thousands gather to honor Iemanjá, the revered Goddess of the Sea in Afro-Brazilian traditions, offering prayers, dreams, and gratitude for her blessings.

Salvador’s soul is undeniably African, with the rhythms of Candomblé filling the air. To the pulse of the drums, the Mães de Santo priestesses spread their sacred blessings, perfuming the crowd with lavender incense—an offering to the Sea Goddess.
