Djamila also praised the quality of the samba-enredo and the school’s performance on the avenue: “Uni\u00e3o Imperial was impeccable, the parade was a true lesson extolling historical and active figures in Baixada Santista, the samba, besides being contagious, is of immense quality. The samba school came out victorious! Beautiful to see Dona Alzira Rufino and the Casa de Cultura da Mulher Negra being highlighted and revered.”<\/p>\n

It was an ineffable honor to be part of this Carnival! Thank you! I extend special thanks to the president, Ivo Evangelista, and the Carnival Director Rubens Gordinho. Santos showed its carnival roots and marks the beginning of samba school parades in the State of S\u00e3o Paulo. Congratulations to the entire city that mobilized for this apoteotic night!”, she concluded.]<\/p>\n
