S.E.S Imperador do Ipiranga's samba-enredo chronicles

A Brazilian Carnival band that documents decades through elaborate theme songs.

For a sense of their scope, try 'Samba-Enredo 2015 - Oxente! Cabra da Peste, Imperador Chegou Para Coroar a Nação do Nordeste' or the steel-themed 'Samba Enredo 2007- Siderurgia Forte Constrói Um Mundo de Aço'.

They've been making samba-enredo songs for Rio's Carnival parades since 1997, with titles that read like time capsules. 'Samba-Enredo 2010 - da Antiguidade a Tecnologia: Medicina, a Nobre Arte de Salvar Vidas' covers medicine from ancient times to modern tech. Their 2002 track 'Não Deixes o Samba Morrer' directly addressed preserving traditional samba forms.

Led by composer Marquinhos do Banjo, they started in the late '90s with songs like 'Samba-Enredo 1999 - Cantos da Terra'. Over two decades, their themes shifted from cultural foundations to social commentary, ending with 2018's 'A Poética do Samba no Andar das Gerações' about samba's evolution.
