The Creativity of Carnavalesco in Rio Carnival 2010
It was a high time for Paulo Barros, the organizer of Samba club was awarded the prize for his creativity in Rio’s carnival. It was a mesmerising effect for the audience in Sambadrome that defeated Grande Rio and Beija Flor who came second and third in the carnavalesco. Unidos da Tijuca escola de samba got first place with the inherited commitment made by Barros who challenged the competitors. He was enjoying the fruits of success after a long time after 1936 and he gave full credit to the escola. Before this carnival, his gang was criticized by some people and blaming to copy the material of American Hollywood magic tricks and that the special effects were matching with the Brazilian authentic Carnival making victory more auspicious.
Barros when asked about the next year’s preparation he seemed to be rather diplomatic and told he really discovered some hidden secrets this year carnival with his theme “It’s a Secret” to be used for the coming events. Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel got seventh place with Imperatriz Leopoldinense, Portela, Porto da Pedra, Uniao da Ilha and Viradouro as the followers. Sao Clemante who was winner this year rose to the Special Group which was possible only when the latter was relegated to the Access Group.
