About Bloco do Ze Pereira

Ze Pereira Block: An Icon of Brazilian Carnival

Founded in 1932 by José Pereira dos Santos, the "Bloco do Ze Pereira" is a traditional samba block that has enlivened the streets of Laranjeiras, in Rio de Janeiro, for decades.

Musical Identity and Repertoire

The block is known for its irreverent lyrics and social criticism, which address current and historical themes. Original compositions, such as "Quem Viver, Verá" (Who Lives Will See) and "Preconceito" (Prejudice), have become anthems of Brazilian carnival.

Special Features

In addition to its contagious samba, the "Bloco do Ze Pereira" stands out for its finely tuned percussion section and its wing of skilled dancers. The block also promotes cultural events throughout the year, contributing to the preservation of the carnival tradition.

Parades

The block traditionally performs in the annual carnival parade through the streets of Laranjeiras. In recent years, it has also participated in other important cultural events, such as the Ouro Preto Winter Festival.

Location

Currently, the "Bloco do Ze Pereira" is based in São Paulo, São Paulo.
