Salgueiro 2006

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Sambódromo, Avenida Maruqês de Sapucaí. 21:00

At this right time, Brazil, Riode Janeiro and the world will hear the cry of war lauched by the Salgueiro's puxador de samba:

Alô Alô Meu Povo do Rio de Janeiro!

That's to say: Hi, hi My People of Rio de Janeiro!
And a few seconds later, while battery players and everybody take its breathing, the crowd in delirium will hear the hailstorm of the Salgueiro's battery echoing through the Avenue.

The world's most important popular manifestation of joy and cheerfulness has just began. Millions of Brazilians will spend all night watching TV or playing their carnivals throughout the country.

Microcosmos, what eyes can't see heart feels it

This is the enredo (story) the GRES Acadêmicos do Salgueiro will tell during more than one hour through the Avenida.

"For 2006 carnival we have searched our inspiration in the world's little things that our eyes can't reach"

Words of Renato Lage and Márcia Lávia (Salgueiro's carnavalescos) and Salgueiro Cultural Directory
