Grito Cultural Reggae

Grito Cultural Reggae

Grito Cultural Reggae is a vibrant bloco that enlivens the streets of São Paulo during Carnival. Founded in 2010 in the neighborhood of Vila Madalena, it has quickly become a beloved tradition, drawing crowds with its infectious rhythms and inclusive spirit. The bloco distinguishes itself by exclusively playing reggae music, a genre not as commonly featured in traditional Brazilian Carnival blocos, offering a unique experience for participants.

The bloco's founders sought to create a space where reggae could be celebrated, providing a platform for both established and emerging artists within the genre. It often collaborates with local musicians, creating a diverse and energetic repertoire. The bloco aims to spread a message of peace, unity, and love through its music and performances.

Grito Cultural Reggae parades through the streets of Vila Madalena, creating a joyous atmosphere with its music, elaborate costumes, and an effervescent energy that attracts a wide array of participants, from locals to tourists. The bloco typically parades a few times during the Carnival period and its schedule can be checked on social media or local websites. Beyond the Carnival festivities, Grito Cultural Reggae actively engages in community events throughout the year, often organizing workshops and shows that promote reggae culture and the arts in general.
