Content
A photograph of Zuzu Angel featured prominently on a float of the Unidos de Vila Isabel samba school. This occurred during the time when samba school parades still took place on Presidente Vargas Avenue. The Unidos de Vila Isabel's theme aimed to recall the good old days of Carnival, a tribute to the past and to Brazilian culture. Zuzu Angel was one of those honored. The float featured a rotating, pushed banner with her photo enormous on both sides. It was a very courageous act by Arlindo Rodrigues, as we were in the midst of the military dictatorship. The banner was paired with another, identical one, honoring Pixinguinha, who died in 1973, both in black and white.
