Escola de Samba: Imperatriz!

Winner of the Parade in: 1999, 2000 and 2001.

?Three-time winner in a row (in 1999, 2000 and 2001 - 'coincidently' in the very same years when the School's President was also heading the Judging Committee) which is the current record only challenged by Beija-Flor. Its success is due to its technically excellent performances and the School's long-time female Carnival Designer, Rosa Magalhães with her idiosyncratic fairy-tale like artistic creations.?

Please beware that this will be handled by El Misti Hostels with all the professionalism we always carry out but we depend on the ?Escolas?, who have a typical Brazilian laid back attitude, so there are bound to be punctuality issues and informalities; but the results are always ?Fantastic?!.  We just need patience and humor, after all, it is Carnival time!

Date: Monday 23rd of February

Price: R$ 700 (seven hundred Reais) (USD $320) + delivery, aprox. R$50.
