Bloco do Risca Fada: Celebrating Diversity and Brazilian Popular Music at the São Paulo Carnival
The Bloco do Risca Fada is a vibrant and inclusive presence in the street carnival of São Paulo. With a unique proposal that unites Brazilian popular "boteco" music (MPBB) with the LGBTQIA+ community, the bloco stands out for its festive and lively atmosphere.
History and Tradition
Founded in 2014, Risca Fada emerged as a party of the same name. The bloco was created to establish a connection between MPBB, a musical genre that mixes samba, pagode, and sertanejo, with the LGBTQIA+ public. The bloco has established itself as a reference in the São Paulo carnival, bringing joy and diversity to the city's streets.
Musical Identity and Repertoire
The musical identity of Risca Fada is marked by MPBB. The bloco's repertoire includes classics of samba, pagode, and sertanejo, as well as original songs that celebrate diversity and inclusion. The contagious animation of a "micareta" (off-season carnival) mixes with the intensity of a family barbecue, creating a unique and vibrant atmosphere.
Special Features
One of the highlights of Risca Fada is its commitment to diversity and inclusion. The bloco is a celebration space for the LGBTQIA+ community, promoting representativeness and respect. In addition, the bloco is characterized by its contagious joy, which involves revelers in an atmosphere of celebration and relaxation.
