The other main carnival genres are: samba-enredo, frevo, maracatu and Axé music. Marchinha ( Portuguese pronunciation:, also called "marchinha de carnaval", "marchinha carnavalesca" or "marcha carnavalesca) is one of several genres of music typical of Brazilian Carnival in Rio de Janeiro and Southeast Region of Brazil. ![]() Problems playing this file?
