Which expression do you think would do better to refer to Rio's Carnaval?

1) "Fiesta of Disorder", as Bob. S. once suggested in this forum;

2) "Non-Conventional Fiesta";

Hello Clarissa March -

There really is no need to 'coin' a new expression for Rios' Carnaval.

Rios' Carnaval, in and of itself, is..... "CARNAVAL!!!"

Take Lunar New Year celebrations, for example -

in most places around the globe, Lunar New Year is refered to as

'Chinese New Year'. Rio has pretty much 'cornered the market'

for 'Carnaval'.

30 sec. spot on CNN for the Rio Tourism Office....PM me )

Thanks a lot Philo...

And... well, no, I wasn't trying to come up with a jingle for a CNN spot... all I am trying to is to be a loyal traslator...

Thks once more!
