Several books on the history of carnival tell that the festival of revelry arrived in Brazil around 1720. Other authors say that it was probably in the 17th century.
In an article by researcher Claudia M. by Assis Rocha Lima, published by the Joaquim Nabuco Foundation, carnival was introduced in Brazil by the Portuguese, in 1723, with the name of entrudo, a party with crazy rushes, flour mela and water with lemon.
Only then came the confetti and streamers. However, as this festival began many centuries ago and is surrounded by legends and stories, it is always difficult to be sure about dates. But about the games, there is no doubt, because even today there are confetti, streamers and the biggest mela on the streets, especially in the cities of the Northeast.
