Trio Electrico
The
Trio elétrico is a huge truck fully equipped with a powerful
sound systems and a famous band formed of Salvador de Bahia's
most famous singers. The car covers 6km driving at a speed of
2km/hour trough the marked streets in Salvador!! There are two
routes for these Clubs: From THU to SAT, the Alternative (or
new) Street Clubs take place in Barra Avenue until Ondina, going
along the coast of some of the most beautiful beaches in Salvador
(takes around 4 hours to complete the route). The participants
have a colorful costum, formed of a T-shirt(abada) and shorts,
and follow the band all over the route). From SUN to TUE, the
Principal (or traditional) Street Clubs take place in the Principal
Avenue downtown. This route is longer, taking about 8 hours
to be completed. It is really important to have a lot of energy
here!!!
