Alô, @gresestacio 🩵 In the central region of Rio de Janeiro, lies the Estácio neighborhood, known as the “birthplace of samba.” It is home to Estácio de Sá, a school founded in 1955, which is my honoree today. In 2023, Estácio de Sá celebrated the Maranhão festival of “bumba meu boi” in its parade. Maranhão, a state in Brazil, hosts an annual celebration where thousands of people come together to enact narratives from Brazilian folklore, with the playful figure of the ox as a central theme. Amidst explosive colors, flowers, ribbons, sparkles, and textures, the school’s parade beautifully portrayed the encounter between the pagan and the religious, offering a rich tapestry of the culture of the northeast of our country and illustrating Brazil’s deep connection with spirituality.
