Fatboy Slim closes carnival in Salvador

DJ Fatboy Slim is taking part in Salvador's carnival, one of the world's biggest street parties.



Between 1.5 and two million people are expected at the six-day event as bands move through the city on giant floats.

Fatboy Slim, also known as Norman Cook, will help close the carnival on one of the floats, known as "trios eletricos".

These feature bands playing on top of trucks laden with speakers, following a 16-mile route through the Brazilian city.

Here is another muse selection that highlighted the avenue:

This is Bahia Carnival!

While most of the carnival’s international buzz is around Rio’s scene, Salvador is where the "action" takes place. Unfortunately it is very difficult to explain all emotions associated with Bahia’s carnival. It is a mixture of energy, human body, and tons of fun! Here are some photos from last night parade…
