it was
originally created as a carnival bloc in 1970, and remained as
so for most of its existence.
it held great parades during the
following decades, even forging rivalries with other blocs in
the region, especially the caprichosos de bento ribeiro.
but
during the 1990s the lack of financial support meant that
several of these great blocs would eventually fade away and die.
this was the ultimate fate of the mentioned caprichosos
congregation.
