Now in its third year, Tucson Carnaval celebrates spring, life, the arts, and community connections. This event featured concerts by many local bands, including Spirit Familia.

Richard Rivera adds guitar and vocals to the Spirit Familia mix of African, Latin, Reggae, and Funk rhythms…
And what would a Brazilian-influenced festival be without Batucaxe?
Or how about those fun-loving Carnivaleros, who don’t just get the crowd dancing, they join in!
