Galo da Madrugada

Galo da Madrugada

The Galo da Madrugada (in Portuguese: Rooster/Cock of Early Hours) is a carnival parade that happens every carnival saturday, to the left of the São José district in downtown Recife, the state capital of Pernambuco, Brazil.

It is named in the "The Guinness Book of World Records" as the biggest carnival parade in the world, considering the number of participants. In 2006 that number was more than 1,500,000 people. The "Galo" was conceived in 1978, at Padre Floriano Street, nº43, São José district by Enéias Freire.

The main rhythm is the "frevo", but several other rhythms are also played.
