Friends of Wilson Alicate: Celebrating the Work of a Master in Rio Carnival
History and Roots
The "Friends of Wilson Alicate" bloco emerged in 2011 as a tribute to the renowned samba musician Wilson Moreira. The launch took place at AABB Tijuca, with performances by great names in samba, including Almir Guineto and Tânia Malheiros.
Unmistakable Identity
The bloco's mission is to celebrate the work of Wilson Moreira during the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Its lively performances and active public participation create a festive and inclusive atmosphere.
Music and Repertoire
The "Friends of Wilson Alicate" drum section entertains the public with traditional carnival marches and samba anthems. The repertoire is carefully selected to honor the work of the master being honored.
Practical Presence
The bloco's meeting point is at Rua São Valentim, number 30, in Praça da Bandeira, Grande Tijuca. Traditional performances take place on the first Saturday of Carnival, from 3 pm. The bloco stands out for its post-event cleaning practice, with participants collecting and bagging their own trash.
