Did you know that in Rio de Janeiro...
The first Samba Schools parade in Rio de Janeiro was held in 1935. Since then, the show has become greater year after year.
Today, there is a “samba-drome” built especially for the annual vent. Some Schools spend up to R$2 million to prepare for their parades.
