About Bloco da UNEGRO

UNEGRO Block: Celebrating Afro-Brazilian Culture

Founded by students from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in 2008, the "Bloco da UNEGRO" is a carnival block that promotes Afro-Brazilian culture and combats racism.

The block is a space for diversity and activism, valuing Afro-Brazilian culture through its performances. With a focus on racial and social issues, the Bloco da UNEGRO's repertoire addresses themes related to racial equality and the fight against prejudice.

Musically, the block presents a style focused on samba-enredo, with drums, dancers, and floats. The performances feature a repertoire that includes everything from traditional sambas to original compositions.

The Bloco da UNEGRO stands out for its location in São Paulo, São Paulo, where it parades through the city streets. Its presence in the São Paulo carnival is a symbol of the fight against racism and the appreciation of Afro-Brazilian culture.
