Their annual Carnival songs document Brazilian culture and social themes.
For a sense of their range, listen to 'Samba-Enredo 2013 - Mazzaropi, o Adorável Caipira; 100 Anos de Alegria!' alongside 'Samba-Enredo 2006 - Agricultura, a Fé do Homem do Campo'. One celebrates a folk comedian, the other the faith of farmers.
This school's samba-enredos act as a yearly chronicle of Brazil, from local figures to broader social currents. A song like 'Samba-Enredo 2005 - Samba, Sombra e Água Fresca; Cantareira, o Pulmão Verde de São Paulo' turns a city park into a rhythmic tribute. Their 2023 entry honored musicians Da Silva and Bezerra as working-class voices, keeping that documentary thread alive.
They've been making these theme songs for Carnival since at least 1999, with entries documented through 2023. The titles shift from place to place, Uberlândia in 2002, the Cantareira park in 2005, São Paulo's Northeast community in 2011, but always circle back to Brazilian stories.
