Abstract

The trajectory of the samba school Vizinha Faladeira (Talkative Neighbor) (1933-1940) is an example for the understanding of the first formative years of these carnival groups in Rio de Janeiro. The grandeur, luxury and originality displayed by this group in its parades established a form of template to be criticized by all the samba groups that negotiated their recognition insociety based on values ​​linked to tradition, purity and blackness. We propose that the symbolic battle over the significance of these carnival groups was instrumental in building therelationship between the samba schools and traditionalism, and the permanence of these groups in the national imagination as the main representatives of the popular carnival from the 1940sonwards.
