Magenta Radio is about to become the first British radio station to cover the Rio de Janeiro carnival (Carnaval do Rio de Janeiro), with unprecedented coverage of the event. The Rio carnival is one of the biggest in the world with more than 200 samba schools battling it out to be this year's carnival champion in front of bustling crowds at the Sambodromo on Sapucaí Avenue.
On air, all the songs from this year's festival will be played during a 90 minute special airing on Magenta Radio throughout the event, as well as the individual songs at various intervals throughout the day. Online we'll present the latest news and information on the 'Carnaval' page of this website, as well as the results once they are presented. We hope you can join us for this festival of colour and song for the first time on Magenta Radio!
