That would be Parintins, a town on the Amazon known for its annual folklore festival. What was once a violent rivalry between two families is now a friendly dance competition between the Red Team and the Blue Team. People show their team support by the color seats they take in the stadium, what they wear and even the color of their houses. Thus, the red AND blue Coke signs. Costumes are elaborate and the dances play out folk stories.
Photos include some of the wall of art surrounding one of the team's practice stadium and costumes at the location where they're made and stored.
