Origin[]
Carmen Miranda was a Brazilian superstar famous for her work on film and stage samba dancing. Her dance style, singing and exotic costume, mainly her fruit hat, made her even more popular with international audiences. Miranda’s films continued until the end of WWII, where she both unintentionally created the stereotypical "Brazilian Bombshell" image and exposed Latin culture to more people.
Effects[]
People around the user will start to dance endlessly. The dancing will not stop, even if the maracas stop shaking, so the only way to stop the artifact's effects is to neutralize the artifact.
