The launch of Antigua’s Carnival was fabulous, with the public that escorted the artists, who gave their very best, from the Batucada (percussion group) Bloco Da Ilha, to the rondalla (chord orchestra) of Antigua’s Elders, guest murgas, drags, chirigota (comic band), tightrope walkers and presenters.

The spectacular shows were applauded at length, in honour of the recently deceased humorist, Manolo Vieira, who was mentioned twice by the presenter Roberto Herrera and the chirigota from Cadiz “La Guasa”. Antigua woke up with music and cheers from the Carnival Bus, which travelled in the main streets of the municipality from 10 am, inviting the population to participate in the Carnival Coso that took place in the afternoon.
