ADA/PL003	BRAZILICA: LIVERPOOL CARNIVAL COMPANY The Liverpool Carnival Company is extremely busy at the moment organising the biggest Brazilian samba carnival in the UK - Brazilica. Brazilica is an exciting three day event that will comprise of a Rio-style, glittering night time city centre parade, plus lots of free daytime activity including music, dance, film, sport and entertainment. The event will take place in Liverpool city centre between the 15th and 17th of July. Last year the parade itself attracted an audience of over 30,000 people lining the streets alone. With a festival site now established in a prime city centre location, the figures can only increase. "Brazilica is a fantastic platform to promote your business and a great opportunity for your organisation to have a brand association with a unique event which can't fail to attract a mass market. The festival is designed to appeal to families, young people, fans of art, music and sport, and people interested in travel and discovering new cultures. The festival is also directly targeting the Latin communities across the UK, with support from the Embassy of Brazil who called to say that they think Brazilica is fantastic. There are opportunities for brand awareness across all our promotional materials, including the Brazilica souvenir brochure (30,000 copies) and Big Screen advertising on the Williamson Square city centre event site (August 2010 footfall figures: 6,000,000). Brazil is a country with an economy on the ascent; it will host the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016. As the eyes of the world turn to these events, the opportunities for the future of Brazilica are bright. If you or your organisation would like to get involved, there are many opportunities in which you can benefit from working with us. Brazilica is partnered with Action for Brazil Children's Trust. ABC Trust will give a taste of the Street Child World Cup with a series of football workshops and demonstrations. The organisation will also present a series of films highlighting the work that they do and the nature of life on the streets of Brazil. There will also be the chance to take part in an interactive arts workshop to build a cardboard favela to represent the thousands of shanty-towns that are spread across Brazil. Liverpool's Cardboard Favela will remain in the city over the course of the festival as an art installation and as a reminder of the living conditions faced by the country's children and that carnival is the one time of year that all levels of Brazil's society come together to celebrate and party.

Her work evokes folkloric music by using typical Chilean instruments - and yet it sounds global and pop. She interprets vocals, piano and guitar, accompanied by three musicians in drums, bass, guitar and some ethnic instruments. This original and universal style has earned Carmen Salvador a spot in some of New Zealand´s biggest festivals and iconic live music venues. The tour is a three month experience to be shared with the rest of the world through MySpace, YouTube and Facebook, with an estimated audience of around 6,000 people.
