Tambor do Salgueiro

Apologies for all that follow this blog regularly but it has been though to keep the rythm during last week. Carnival hit Rio de Janeiro and its visitors very hard this time, giving us only sunny and beautiful day. We got lost a little bit, have to admit that and so did our official reporter that was in charge to feed this blog with photos


O GRES Academicos do Salgueiro is the champion school of samba of this Carnival in Rio de Janeiro 2009. Salgueiro last championship was in 1993 and they arrived second last year just after plurichampion Beija-Flor. The theme for Salgueiro was the Tambor (drum) and its history coming from Africa. Thanks to our friend Peter and his blog APREX, with whom we got kidnapped together in one of the city s streets"blocos", for the inspiration of this post.
