Carnaval Brasileiro is claimed to be “the biggest celebration in the world.” Really? It sounds like another press-release ploy, doesn’t it? But browsing Wikipedia’s definition of the Brazilian Carnival, it might actually be true: The country stops completely for almost a week and the consumption of beer accounts for 80% of its annual total. Fine Line Music Cafe is adopting Brazil’s non-stop party for Friday and Saturday night with three shows where Brazilian sensation Dandara is headlining. Extending Fat Tuesday into the weekend is easily justified this year.
