G.R.E.S Amizade Zona Leste is a samba school from São Paulo's eastern zone. Their samba-enredos, like the 2023 'Do Zé Pelintra ao Zé Ninguém. Qual Zé Você É?' and 2019's 'Abayomi, Encontro Precioso,' often explore identity and social themes through Brazilian cultural figures.
They've released recordings including 'A Lenda do Samba' in 2015 and 'O Encontro das Águas' in 2017. The group includes Silvinho Tucuruvi as president, Mestre Adilson as musical director, and vocalist Fabia Regina.
Their 2022 samba-enredo 'Dandara' continues their pattern of using historical and cultural references to examine contemporary questions. The school has faced financial challenges and internal conflicts while maintaining their focus on these thematic explorations in their music.
