G.R.C.B.E.S Brinco da Marquesa formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1965. They've been creating samba-enredo songs for Rio's Carnival parade for decades, with tracks like "Samba-Enredo 1996 - Amor Que Te Quero Amar" and "Samba-Enredo 2023 - É Festa! No Brasil É Alegria o Ano Inteiro" among their recent parade entries.
Their 2023 Carnival song "É Festa! No Brasil É Alegria o Ano Inteiro" drew attention for its treatment of political and social themes. The group has included members like Wilson Moreira on vocals and Luís Grande on cavaquinho, though lineups have shifted over time.
They've recorded other samba-enredo pieces including "Samba-Enredo 2018 - a Marquesa e o Ouro Verde" and "Samba-Enredo 2022 - Estação Japão-Liberdade do Afro Ao Oriental."
