Samba in chain

Dancers of the school of Samba "Paraiso do Tuiuti" put on their slave costumes, a few hours from the parade of the winners of the Rio 2018 Carnival. This school, recently entered among the "special groups" has earned the second place for having brought a harsh criticism to the class Brazilian politics and the reform of labor in Brazil, inserting a satire of President Temer (represented as a vampire) and bringing slaves to the Sambodromo, 130 years after the abolition of slavery in Brazil. The group has been supported by the overwhelming majority of Brazil, considering them the moral winner of this edition as the exhibition went viral worldwide.
