Obrigado, Brasil, for the dancing Christmas capybara I didn't know I needed! (sound ON)

Extra cultural details: the band dressed as Bavarians is playing frevo (another Brazilian rythim, also popular in Carnaval)

And all these elements together make sense for us, Brazilians (and should make sense everywhere).

Frevo is really great! But this is actually a samba from Cacique de Ramos, a traditional Carnaval "bloco" from Rio

My mistake. The Bavarians from Piracicaba confused me. Everything else was not confusing, though.

Bavarians from Piracicaba will do that to anybody!
