Just celebrated with the reading of the note that gave the championship to the school.

“He deserved and we also deserve the 2nd place,” said the president of Great River, Hélio de Oliveira. But the criticisms have not disappeared. “We must value what is ours, our culture. The work of Paulo Barros was beautiful, but I’m still very attached to that is samba,” said the chairman of the Carnival of Mangueira, Nilcemar Nogueira.
