Those who are playing and dancing are not the real protagonists but the masters of ceremony in a party that is carried out among all the people present. Are two the Argentinean regions that have carnival in their blood and they celebrate it in very different ways: the Litoral and the Argentinean North West. There are also some Porteños neighborhoods where comparsas (social club's carnival dance group) cover long avenues.
