The Frenzy of Carnival

This page tells about the festival leading up to the eve of Lent known throughout Latin America as Carnival. The explanation is insightful and there are some excerpts of songs and chants heard during the festivities. The page seems to talk more about the traditions in the Caribbean nations, but can be applied to other countries as well. The page contains both Spanish and English. There is a link that lets you listen to the sounds of Carnival. This page would be helpful in preparing a presentation on this festival and the differences between celebrations in various countries.
