BRAZIL-RIO-CARNIVAL-SAMBODROME
Caption: Picture taken on February 8, 2013 of Rio de Janeiro's Sambodrome which will host the famous carnival parades featuring Rio's top 12 samba schools. Under a shower of confetti and with pulsating samba music, portly King Momo on Friday officially kicked off Rio's famed Carnival, a five-day fest that will climax in spectacular weekend parades of top samba schools. He must hold court at private events, street parties, and most importantly at the sumptuous parades he will open at the Sambodrome -- the Samba parade ground designed by the late Oscar Niemeyer -- Sunday and Monday night.
