The starting point for samba schools as we know them today occurred in 1928, with the founding of the first official samba school, Deixa Falar, by Ismael Silva, in the Estácio neighborhood. Deixa Falar was the precursor to the samba school parade during Rio Carnival. Over the years, samba schools became increasingly organized, developing administrative structures, such as boards, harmony departments, drums, wings and costumes. Competitions during Carnival became the highlight of the year for these schools, who began to parade on the Avenue, showing their artistic and cultural skills.
