formed in 2000, the group has become known for their early celebrations, usually a few days before the main event kicks off.

the block parades in the streets of lagoa and marches with an unusual band using instruments such as electric guitars, brass, and percussion. 

their sound is unique and there is even a 'sound car' covered in vivid graffiti, which drives alongside the members.

the block's launch party happens in a lagoa nightclub so people are able to let off some early steam before carnival gets going.
