Bloco Events Tonight in Paris

About Bloco

Bloco, or more formally Bloco Carnavalesco, originated in the late 19th-century street parades of Brazil as a communal expression of Carnival. The genre is characterized by powerful percussion ensembles featuring instruments like surdos, repiques, and tamborins, creating intricate polyrhythmic layers that drive high-energy movement. Its rhythmic foundation is rooted in various samba patterns and marchinhas, maintaining a fast-paced tempo conducive to massive street processions while evoking a festive and euphoric mood. Semantically, it functions as the participatory, grassroots counterpart to organized Samba Schools, bridging the cultural gap between traditional folk rhythms and large-scale, modern public celebration throughout cities like Rio and Salvador.

Also known as: Bloco Carnavalesco, Cordão
