I'm Cinthia, I'm 27 years old and by now I call the City of Samba my home. To be more specifically the warehouse of the Samba School Acadêmicos do Grande Rio in Rio de Janeiro.
I was born in a Favela Called Vila Operaria, in the City where Grande Rio belong to Duque de Caxias, so I'was able to part of the social project supported by the youth samba school Pimpolhos da Grande Rio since I was 9. Through this project I got the chance to learn other langue, music, dance and getting more prepared to face the real life. Before the pandemic of Corona Virus I used to work as a tour guide of the Carnaval Experience receiving hundreds of people per year sharing with them the magical history, showing the behind scenes of the biggest open air show on Earth, the Rio de Janeiro's Carnival. Now I can keep open the doors of my sweet home for you guys.

What a lovely experience ! I thoroughly enjoyed it and would absolutely love to see it in real life. The experience was spaced out perfectly allowing the opportunity to see some aspects of what goes into a carnival even though the time was so short. The hosts did an amazing job and were full of energy and enthusiasm. A huge thank you for this opportunity 😊 I would definitely recommend this experience to all !

This is a fun way for the whole family (or office in our case) to learn about Afro-Brazilian culture and history! And a great prep activity for going in person in 2022 when things open up. You’re also supporting a great organization that supports Brazilian youth. Highly recommend!

Our team did this to end a virtual offsite and it was SO MUCH fun! Really informative and interactive, and the hosts were great fun and had lots of energy. We've done a lot of virtual experiences and they can get a bit same-y so it was really nice to do something that felt different. The percussion workshop section had us all grinning and our team shared so much positive feedback about the experience afterwards.

So much fun! It was a great bonding activity for our team members who work around the world to come together to learn the history of Carnivale, see some great behind-the-scenes peeks, and get to dance and bang away on our pots and pans with our new friends in Rio!
