Behind the carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Brazil, land of syncretism par excellence, celebrating their traditions through various rituals, mostly indecipherable to the rest of the world.

The Samba, musical rhythm created and practiced by blacks (who hold the world's biggest pagan festival), to be danced for hours or even days without interruption, requires an almost inhuman endurance. How loqra possess such forces?

Mainly through the Candomblé, religion exported to Brazil, from tribal Africa, by black slaves.
A ORIX (divine entity that can communicate with men) will do the rest.

Until EXU (the devil) offers its positive contributions, among many practices to include animal sacrifices.
