Carnival Parade in Rio 2024 - Highlights from Samba School: MANGUEIRA & ALCIONE - Brazil

Welcome to the largest Carnival Parade in the world - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! This is one of the 12 Samba Schools that was competing this year at the famous Sambodrome. Each School has 70 minutes to complete the parade and several judges give points and penalties for hundreds of key points and events during the run. The Theme: Mangueira celebrates Alcione's 50-year career in its anual parade in Sapucaí. A Maranhão native by birth and a Mangueirense native at heart, she saw her story pass through the Sambadrome as a guiding thread behind the theme “The black voice of tomorrow”. Mangueira wanted to show the singer's spirituality, as well as the traditional celebrations of Maranhão, a state famous for events such as the Boi de Maracanã and the Tambor de Crioula. If you haven´t seen the parade in person, we would like to share this video so you can get a taste and hopefully get the chance to watch it in person next year - It´s a memory of a lifetime!! #evelynbastos #alcione #mangueira #desfile #carnaval #riodejaneiro #mariabethania #miguelfalabella #sapucaí
