the people were able to speak up, and have a fun time while doing it, as there was no better way to bring an audience than having a big party with almost no rules - within a society, underrepresented groups can greatly benefit from these events and practices.

thus carnival has significantly played a greater role of expression for all individuals of the brazilian society - these utopias of social expression no doubt became very popular, and in many ways these ideals still exist to the fullest extent in today's blocos, the offspring of entrudos.

each neighborhood has its own blocos, and each bloco has a band, a singer, or a dj, that plays for the participants - some blocos march on routes, and some stay still, but more importantly everyone is invited.
