one of carnival's most popular blocks, suvaco
do cristo was established in the city's zona sul botanical
gardens in 1985 by a group of friends (including composers jards
macalé and lenin and artist/lyricist xico chaves) who simply
wanted to join in rio carnival's celebrations.
the founders describe themselves as mad, fun
loving party-goers who adore samba, rock, and travelling and
this energetic and passionate theme continues to run through
suvaco do cristo today.
