Rio de Janeiro is set to explode with even more Carnival energy this year! For the first time ever, the iconic Sapucaí Sambadrome will host a third night of dazzling parades, extending the samba celebration to unprecedented heights. This Tuesday marks a historic moment as Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel, Paraíso do Tuiuti, Acadêmicos do Grande Rio, and Portela take to the stage, debuting this exciting new format.
A Queen's Homage and a Muse's Return
Adding to the excitement, Fabíola de Andrade will be the queen presiding over the final night of parades, leading Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel. Her presence is highly anticipated, and all eyes will be on her as she embodies the spirit of Carnival.
But the drama doesn't stop there! The queen of Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel's percussion group is generating buzz for her planned tribute. She's reportedly imitating the iconic collar style popularized by Luma de Oliveira as an homage to a controversial figure. This bold move is sure to spark conversation and add an extra layer of intrigue to the already vibrant parade.
