Bloco Todos Na Contra Mão

Bloco Todos Na Contra Mão, translating to 'Everyone in the Wrong Way Bloc', is a notable Carnival bloco that parades in the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Founded in 2015 in the neighborhood of Botafogo, the bloco was created by a group of friends who had the desire to start a street band for Carnival. The name of the bloco was chosen as a humorous reference to the act of 'going against the flow', which is represented by the bloc's counter-clockwise parade route.

The bloco's musical repertoire consists of traditional carnival rhythms, including marchinhas, samba, and other popular Brazilian tunes. Their performances are known for their energy and joy, capturing the spirit of Rio's Carnival. The group is well known for their inclusive and welcoming atmosphere.

The bloco's parades usually begin in Botafogo, attracting a diverse crowd, ranging from local residents to tourists. Over the years, the bloco has become a staple of the neighborhood, promoting community engagement and cultural celebration. Bloco Todos Na Contra Mão typically parades during the official Carnival period, but is also known for some special appearances outside the official dates. Their parades are a mix of organized revelry, with many participants following the bloco in a dancing and singing mood, and many people dress up with creative costumes.
