Brazilian Momo King to party in Seychelles carnival 2015

ATP-  arab tourism portal- For the fifth edition of the Carnaval International de Victoria, Brazil has promised to be back once again and this time round they will be represented by the popular Momo King group.

Since the carnival’s very beginning in 2011, Brazil has always been a loyal international participant, contributing towards the carnival’s success and wow effect.

It will be the Momo King group’s first trip to the Seychelles and aside from impressing the crowd they will surely be working towards winning the coveted best international float prize, which was won last year by China’s Hai Cheng Stilt dancers. Brazil’s School O Samba had to settle for third place since UK’s Notting Hill Road show Company had taken the second position.

Momo King’s float and display will represent a burst of energy, colours, samba and joy under the theme ‘Sao Paulo, experience it all!’  Through their parade they are hoping to give the audience a glimpse into the culture of the biggest and most famous Brazilian city.  Just like Seychelles, Sao Paolo represents a melting pot of cultures, receiving people from all around the world in a tolerant environment, respecting diversity of creeds, ethnic groups, sexual orientation and tribes.

“We are preparing some surprises and special costumes to our parade. I am sure that will be a beautiful spectacle” said Mr. Juliano Barbosa, the General Coordinator of the Brazilian Delegation.

Momo King is considered the king of Carnivals in numerous Latin American festivities.  This larger than life figure is often given the key to the city and his appearance signifies the beginning of carnival festivities.

 
This group specializes in entertainment and its performances portray four artistic languages: visual arts, theater, music and dance. The group was formed by choreographers, designers, dancers and musicians and the Momo King group promotes shows, artistic interventions and workshops in Brazil and worldwide. The Momo King is proactive in its approach always seeking new experiences, to interact, learn and share their expertise vis-à-vis Brazilian Carnival, with everybody.
 

“For us it is a great honour take part again in this wonderful event and we will have the opportunity to show you a little of the Brazilian carnival, one of the biggest events on Earth” said the director of the group, Mr. Danniel Okamoto.

 
The crowd that will flock down and fill every corner of Victoria on Saturday April 25 will surely know that the party has begun when they catch their first glimpse of Momo King.
