G.R.E.S Pega No Samba is a samba school from Rio de Janeiro that formed in 1983. They create samba-enredo songs for Carnival parades, with titles like 'Samba Enredo 1985 - Belezas e Riquezas do Espírito Santo' and 'Samba Enredo 2014 - Festa, Samba e Rock'n Roll: Uma Viagem De Liverpool à Vitória, 50 Anos De Beatle' showing their range of themes.
Their 2020 samba-enredo was called 'Viva e Deixe-me Viver, Intolerância Jamais - o Pega Pede Paz'. They've also paid tribute to local figures, as in 'Samba Enredo 2016 - Pega Canta o Centenário de Um Beija-Flor, Augusto Ruschi, Orgulho Capixaba, Teso'.
These songs follow the tradition of samba schools presenting annual themes through music for Carnival competitions. The group continues this practice with recent entries like their 2019 samba about dancer Lenira Borges.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
