Batucada and samba: the beat of the Carnival themed event
Imagen
Nothing announces a Carnival event better than drums. The batucada marches into the room or along the street and pulls guests onto the dance floor.
- Live batucada: Brazilian percussion as a parade or on stage.
- Samba dancers in feathers and sequins who dance with the audience.
- Corporate batucada: guests learn to play in teams.
- Latin dance shows for after dinner.
A good moment for the batucada is the guests' arrival or the end of dinner: the musicians appear by surprise, move through the tables and finish on the dance floor with the dancers. From then on the party does not stop.
Brass band and parade with stilt walkers and jugglers
Imagen
Carnival is a street party. We set up a parade that moves through the office, shopping centre or town and spreads the fun to every corner:
- Brass band: brass and percussion with a festive repertoire.
- Carnival stilt walkers: 3 sets of 20 minutes.
- Harlequin jugglers: 3 sets of 20 minutes.
- Golden Mirror Man: a mirrored figure shining among the crowd.
Glitter face painting, make-up and costumes
Imagen
At Carnival nobody goes without a costume. We set up a make-up corner where every guest leaves transformed:
- Glitter face painting: sparkle and colour for 2 hours, extendable.
- Make-up artists: from a subtle touch to transformations with feathers and bright colours.
- Body paint for dancers or welcome hostesses.
- Costume contest with a prize at the end of the party.
For company events we also offer carnival team challenges, with riddles and tests, and confetti shooting, where participants aim at themed targets with confetti cannons. The winning team receives its prize from the host.

- Staff: musicians, dancers, street performers and make-up artists.
- Power: photo booths and LED masks need a socket nearby.
- Access: we need to know about stairs, goods lifts and loading times.
Around 80% of our events take place outside Barcelona: Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Málaga, Zaragoza or Bilbao.
