Rio de Janeiro Carnival figures Lore Improta and Agnes Pimentel make headlines

Prominent figures in the Rio de Janeiro Carnival scene are making moves within their respective samba schools. Lore Improta, currently a musa for Unidos da Viradouro, expressed her interest in potentially becoming the school's queen in the future. She also shared that she is learning to play the tamborim to further her involvement with the community.

Meanwhile, at Imperatriz Leopoldinense, model Agnes Pimentel is gaining significant traction within the community. After debuting this year as a highlight on a parade float, she was promoted to musa for the 2027 Carnival. Pimentel has also taken on a role as an ambassador for the Instituto Imperatriz, participating in the school's social initiatives and demonstrating consistent commitment through regular attendance at rehearsals.
