A Brazilian group crafting narrative samba-enredo songs for carnival parades since 2013.
If you want to hear what they do, 'Samba Enredo 2008 - De Punho Cerrado e Peito Aberto, Um Grito de Liberdade' gives you the full picture. Their 'hino da escola' tracks show another side of their work.
They're not just another samba band, they're a collective that works directly within Brazil's carnival traditions, creating the actual songs that parade floats use. Their 2010 track 'Samba Enredo 2010 - O Vôo da Águia Sobre As Terras do Uirapuru' shows how they weave Brazilian mythology into their music. They tackle social issues too, like in 'Samba Enredo 2009 - Aqui Tudo Começa e Acaba Em Pizza,' which references a local idiom about corruption.
Formed in 2013, they've been releasing samba-enredo songs year after year, with titles that track their output from 2003 through 2023. Their 2022 release 'Samba-Enredo 2023' was created specifically for the São Paulo Carnival, continuing what they started with albums like 'Cantos de Lutas e Esperanças' in 2020.
