Anitta Instagram – Alô, @imperatrizleopoldinenseoficial 🩶🌵 Today, my costume is inspired by the 2023 Carnival-winning samba school, which highlighted the importance of ‘cordel literature,’ a popular booklet/pamphlet containing folk novels, poems and songs. It’s a traditional expression of Brazilian popular culture. Imperatriz Leopoldinense, located in Ramos, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, explored the stories presented on the booklets of Northeastern poets, delved into the afterlife of Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, Lampião, and the duality portrayed in cordel literature, a fascination that persists today. Drawing from Guaiapuan Vieira’s work ‘A chegada de Lampião ao céu’ (Lampião’s Arrival in Heaven), my costume captures the ‘soaring into the light’ of The Cangaceiro, often seen as a hero for combating the misery of his people and the oppression imposed by the landowners. – Pt nos comentários
