STORYLINE:
Rio’s top samba schools performed during the second day of the Carnival parade on Monday, closing the “Special Group” event.

Thousands witnessed the final six schools showcasing a vibrant exhibition of handcrafted floats and costumes, while performers danced and cheered their way through the iconic samba avenue.

The first school to enter the Sambadrome was “Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel” with a story about the cashew fruit of Brazil’s northeast, its legends and curiosities.

Following, samba school Portela picked the theme based on Brazilian writer Ana Maria Gonçalves’ book “A Color Defect,” highlighting the strength of Black women to survive and build a nation.

On Wednesday, judges will announce their grades in nine different categories and the 2024 Rio’s carnival winner.

Rio's Sambadrome has been home to the parade since the 1980s, and is a symbol of Brazil's Carnival festivities.
