Cordão Sucatas Ambulantes: The Symphony of Scrap in Carnival

The Cordão Sucatas Ambulantes is a carnival bloco (street band) that emerged in the Grajaú neighborhood, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro, in 1996. Founded by a group of friends, the bloco stands out for its use of musical instruments made of scrap, such as cans, bottles, and pans, giving rise to the name "Sucatas Ambulantes" (Walking Scrap).

Special Features

The Cordão Sucatas Ambulantes is known for lively and interactive performances with the public, parading on Avenida Engenheiro Richard, in Grajaú. The use of scrap as musical instruments gives the bloco a unique and captivating identity.
