Joint operations will include promoting via video, texts and social media several aspects of the backstage of the Brazilian Carnival parades, shows, rehearsals and artists, to an international audience.   Production will focus in presenting the world´s largest party in English and Spanish, so as to popularize and familiarize the Latin based community in the United States, with the Brazilian Carnival culture. 

Aside from broadcasting through inserts several of the preparatory phases of the Brazilian Carnival parade of 2012, which will happen from February 18th to 21st, video footage will include on-line streaming broadcasting also.

The Brazilian Carnival festivity in 2011 attracted 5 million tourists in Rio de Janeiro alone, and is becoming increasingly beloved and celebrated in many other cities in the world.  Today, large “Rio Style” Carnival parades are organized in Notting Hill & Liverpool (UK), Helsinki (Finland), Asakusa-Tokyo (Japan), Cologne & Frankfurt (Germany), Venice (Italy), Copenhagen (Denmark), Houston (USA), San Luis (Argentina) and in many other parts of the world.
