samba song
Each school's presentation must have a central theme, such as a historical event, famous figure or a Brazilian Indian legend. The samba song must recount the theme and the huge floats that accompany each school must detail the theme through costumes, paintings or papier-mache sculpture.
Each Samba school rehearses all year long for this event and members, whether expert or not, all participate.
