Sao Paulo is one of the biggest metropolises in the world, where many different cultures and ethnicities settled since its foundation in 1554. No matter where the people descend from they celebrate carnival all toghether and enjoy the glamorous and cheerful festival. Especially the parade of the samba schools are a special event every year and they inspired Walter Schneider-Argenbühl to write his Brazilian samba "Memories of Sao Paulo".
