In Brazil, the Viradouro samba school wins the Rio 2024 carnival. Its parade on the strength of black women, through the myth of a sacred snake from Benin, won over the “sambodrome’ jury.
This is the third title for this school from the suburbs of Rio. The theme, the percussion, the evolution of the parade or even the floats and costumes are criteria to define the school which will be crowned champion of the carnival, says RFI's Sarah Cozzolino.
