During Saturdays in January and February, and the first Saturday of March, the 2009 Gualeguaychu Carnival in Argentina transmits the audience happiness and make participants and viewers become infected with the audacious rhythm of the “batucadas” and the sexy dancing of the “pasistas” (main paraders), as they enjoy a show teeming with unprecedented brightness, light and sound.
The significant size of the Gualeguaychú “corsódromo” (carnival stadium) has enabled the “comparsas” to enlarge not only their squads but also the size of their floats, which are out of reach for any other carnival in the country.
This celebration and its artistic display have been around for over 20 years and is considered one of the most important carnival parades on earth, along with the carnivals of Rio de Janeiro and Venice.
