It's back after a brief hiatus due to Covid-19. Brazil's famous Samba Schools parade kicked off in full-scale on Sunday, as the country welcomed its yearly Carnival Festival. 

In 2022, the parade was postponed for two months because of the coronavirus pandemic but this year it’s back and revelers are going all out. 

CGTN's Lucrecia Franco has more from Sambadrome, the city’s samba stadium.
