The samba school gained a reputation for the participation of artists who managed to create real masterpieces.

</span> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size:14px;color:#000000;">The theme for this year is</span></span></span></strong></p>
<p style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-weight:normal;"><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><em>&#8220;<strong>Eu acredito em você. E você?</strong></em></span></span><strong><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>&#8220;.</em><br />
</span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>I believe in you. And you? </strong></span></span></p>
<p style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">The samba school has a broad theme this year: overcome. Superação in Portuguese. To overcome fears, disease, love, life. The school tries to make clear that conquests make friends, build nations, create a world. But one has to work for it. The samba school had really worked hard, when they suffered a big fire, only weeks before the parade in 2011. They overcame this true disappointment, remade everything and participated in the parade  where they were received with big enthusiasm. The school also worked hard to overcome most of their opponents: the school gained several vice-championships in recent years. </span></span></strong><br />

The school was founded on the final day of 1931. Five years later, in 1936, Unidos gained their first championship in the elite class.  In that year, the school introduced the samba enredo, that accompanied the parade with music. Between 1960 and 1980, the school suffered great difficulties. Only in 1981 the highest level, the elite class, was reached again. In the past decade, Unidos gained three vice-championships, and two championships: in 2010 and in 2012. </span></span></strong></p>

</span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>The day that the Royalties landed on the Street to crown King Luiz (Gonzaga) of the Wilderness. </strong></span></span></p>
<p style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">Tijuca commemorates the fact that Luiz Gonzaga was born one hundred years ago. Luiz Gonzaga was born and raised in Pernambuco and was a very popular folk singer. He gained the title of &#8216;Rei (king) do Baião&#8217;, a musical rhythm that originates from the northeast of Brazil. Initially, Luiz only played his accordion, but some years later, he started to sing. His music influenced the Tropicália&#8217; of Gilberto Gil and the rock music of Raul Seixas. </span></span></strong><br />

<p style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;"><a href="http://www.mangueira.com.br/"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#0000ff;">Samba school Mangueira</span></a></span> <span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">is one of the oldest, and one of the most traditional and popular samba schools in Rio. The school was founded in 1928, at Morro de Mangueira, close to the Maracanã Soccer Stadium.<strong> Estação Primeira refers to the first station where the tram from Central do Brasil was stopping. The colors pink and green refer to the colors that were used by the carnival group from Laranjeiras: Rancho Os Arrepiados. Mangueira won the championship of the elite class no less than 18 times; their most recent victory dates from 2002. </strong></span></span></strong></p>

</span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>I will party! I am a Cacique, I am Mangueira </strong></span></span></p>
<p style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">Carnival in Rio is not only desfile (parade) of the samba schools. For more carnival in Rio, you go on the streets, and you dance behind the so-called bloco (carnival group with many percussion instruments). One of the most known blocos is Cacique de Ramos, who had their golden jubilee last year. National celebrities as singers Beth Carvalho and Zeca Pagodinho started their careers at Cacique de Ramos, and of course both were present at this desfile. </span></span></strong><br />

<p style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">The cordel literature is predominantly found in the northeast of Brazil. Popular stories and legends, in rhyme, are printed on cheap paper as small leaflets, and illustrated with wood engravings.  Stories with Wild West-like scenes and legends are most popular. The samba school presents some examples of these folk stories. </span></span></strong><br />

</span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>You do the semba there, as I do the samba here! The free song of Angola. </strong></span></span></p>
<p style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">Vila Isabel demonstrates the very close ties between Angola and Brazil. Both nations once were Portuguese colonies, although millions of Angolan slaves were transported to Brazil. These Angolans imported their culture to Brazil. Such as their dances. The Brazilian samba has strong roots in Africa. Vial Isabel tells the history of the &#8216;brothers&#8217; of the Brazilians. </span></span></strong><br />

<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Navio negreiro, correntes da escravidão</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Temos o sangue de Angola</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Correndo na veia, luta e libertação</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">A saga de ancestrais</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Que por aqui perpetuou</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">A fé, os rituais, um elo de amor</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Pelos terreiros (dança, jongo, capoeira)</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Nasce o samba (ao sabor de um chorinho)</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Tia Ciata embalou</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Com braços de violões e cavaquinhos a tocar</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Nesse cortejo (a herança verdadeira)</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">A nossa Vila (agradece com carinho)</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Viva o povo de Angola e o negro Rei Martinho</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color:#800000;"><br />
Semba de lá, que eu sambo de cá</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Já clareou o dia de paz</span></strong></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Vai ressoar o canto livre</span></strong></em><br />

About a century ago, predominantly Jewish and Syrian-Lebanese migrants arrived there. The name Beija-Flor (humming bird) is derived from a carnival group from neighboring Marquês de Valença. Beija-Flor is one of the most successful samba schools in Rio, with twelve championships and eleven vice-championships in the elite class. Only in the past decade, the school gained first and second places, except in 2006, and in 2010. </span></span></strong></p>

<p style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">The samba school will charm the city of São Luís, capital of the state of Maranhão. The city was founded by French colonists, who were ousted by the Portuguese some years later. Also the Dutch have occupied the city for a couple of years. The historic center is largely intact, and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. São Luís is also known for the cultural events, especially those in June and July, and is considered as the Brazilian capital of reggae.  </span></span></strong><br />
