Samba schools prepare for 2027 Carnival celebrations

Samba schools are advancing preparations for the 2027 Carnival season. Imperatriz Leopoldinense has recorded its official samba, which focuses on ancestrality and religious traditions. The musical direction, led by Pedro Miguel, emphasizes the use of drums and maracatu rhythms to support collective singing and community engagement.

In São Paulo, X-9 Paulistana has announced it will re-edit its 2003 theme, ‘Pi Iê Rê, Jeribatiba ou Pinheiros,’ for its return to Grupo de Acesso 1. The parade, which focuses on the preservation of rivers, is scheduled to open the Sunday festivities on February 7 at the Anhembi Sambadrome. President Mestre Adamastor described the upcoming season as a grand event being developed with significant community care.
