Mozambique
Although Africa is not a continent where carnival is practiced as in the case of Europe, Latin America or the Caribbean; the traditions, customs, colors and dances definitely have African origins.
The Maputo Carnival is a celebration held every year in the capital of Mozambique. The event intends to position itself as the largest carnival nationwide.
The Quelimane Carnival is a celebration that occurs every year and attracts more than 50,000 people from all parts of the country, as well as a variety of tourists. The Carnivals of Quelimane have acquired the fame of being known as the carnivals of "Little Brazil".
