The Cantonese Lion Dance is a captivating fusion of martial arts, dance, and music. On this day, our host, Vivian Ma, extends a special invitation to Alan Coelho de Sellos, the Consul General of Brazil in Guangzhou. Guided by Zhao Weibin, an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage Cantonese Lion Dance and the fifth-generation inheritor of the renowned "Zhao Lion Dance", they embark on an exhilarating journey to experience the distinctive art form. But there's an unexpected twist: The lion that is often known as "the king of beasts" turns out to be "a herbivore"! And why does the Consul General harbor a particular fondness for drumming? Amidst the resounding beats, what kind of hilarious performance will the Consul General and our host present to the audience?
While the Cantonese Lion Dance exemplifies discipline and self-cultivation, the Brazilian Carnival represents a lavish extravaganza that unleashes one's true nature. In order to give our host a taste of the "greatest show on Earth" from the other side of the ocean, the Brazilian Consul General orchestrates a mini carnival, where our host is offered a crash course on Samba. With this last-minute preparation, what kind of a carnival will our host experience?
With the pulsating rhythm of drums and the enchanting melodies, let us join the extraordinary festivities of the Cantonese Lion Dance and the Brazilian Carnival!
