On this article we will explain the professional role of the "carnavalesco" figure or Carnaval Producer, in English. We believe the description of his role and profile is essential not only towards the understanding of parades, but to the Brazilian Carnaval culture itself. Without their existence, the parade/show could not be thought upon, organized or executed. His attributions exceed the planning or physical execution of the Carnaval show. Just like a play director, they create dreams and invite everyone to join them. As you will see below, they are the ultimate responsible for selection of plot-themes and how the fabulous stories are staged at the carnival parade. From their imaginative minds, spectators from all over the world are able to see how a carnival story is told. From the days of quasi famous samba-school artists of the 30´s, to legendary Carnival Producers like Fernando Pamplona from Salgueiro and Joãozinho Trinta from Beija-Flor, we will describe below some of the "Carnavalesco´s" early origins, involvement with samba-schools, attributions, and historic representatives.The carnival producer, "Carnavalesco" in samba/carnaval language is the main...more
