=//__ Boi Bumbá __//= In Brazil people celebrate Boi Bumbá's Day ( boi means ox ) in June or July, but there are other places that celebrate it during all the year. In Maranhão, this festival is usually celebrated in July. In this festival a man has to wear an ox costume and dance. Around that man, there are other people dancing with him. During the dance, the ox is killed( it's a fake death), but after that he is resurrected with a hit on its tail and then he stands up his head and dances again. People usually eat shrimp pies,canjica, popcorn, pamonha, cake and stuff like that. People like this festival because it is very famous in Brazil and we can dance a lot together and eat really good food with our friends and family and have fun with great musics.I like this festival because it is really fun. My parents told me that Bo bumbá is very cool and the interesting thing is that my teacher, Aldaires is from Maranhão and they celebrate Boi bumbá a lot.She said she likes this festival very much. I would like to visit Maranhão and participate in this festival one day.
