Spanish term or phrase: Carnaval corso
Mi principal problema es con la palabra "corso".

Contexto: Carnaval corsos capitalinos de San Salvador de Jujuy.

Es un festival. Corso es un desfile de carnaval, es una fiesta popular, generalmente hay muchos grupos que bailan y danzan.

En el enlace "http://www.mdzol.com/nota/446171-del-carnaval-el-corso-la-co..." aparece una expliacción del término: En cuanto a ‘corso’, el vocablo no figura en el diccionario de la Academia, pero sí lo registra el de americanismos; él nos dice que el término es muy usado en países hispanoamericanos, como Uruguay, Paraguay y Argentina, con el significado de “desfile de carruajes, vehículos, personas disfrazadas y comparsas, que generalmente se realiza en la época de carnaval”. Traslaticiamente, se dice de una persona o de una situación que ‘es un corso’ cuando se alude a su carácter alegre, jocoso o festivo. Existe también la expresión ‘tener un corso a contramano’, en nuestro país y en Uruguay, con el valor de “tener alguien las facultades mentales alteradas”.

Explicado el térmiono, ¿se les ocurre alguna traducción?

¡Gracais!

There also are so-called "Corsican carnivals" in other countries too, like Cyprus, Brazil and Portugal...
