The Samba School United Kingdom of Manaus is a renowned carnival group based in the city of Manaus, Amazonas. Founded on September 5, 1981, during a meeting of friends in the Morro da Liberdade neighborhood, the school had its origins on Santa Rosa Street, in the residence of one of the founders, known as Pirulito. Initially, it emerged as a street block called Unidos do Morro. Over the years, Reino Unido de Manaus grew and consolidated, becoming a samba school in 1986 and reaching Grupo Especial in 1987, when it adopted its current name. One of the striking features of the United Kingdom of Manaus is its court, known as Terreirão do Samba Mãe Zulmira Gomes, located on Alameda São João. The club is also recognized for its memorable plots, such as the samba about Mãe Zulmira, popularly known as " Axé Mãe Preta".
