The Associação Cultural e Social Escola de Samba Mocidade Camisa Verde e Branco, founded on September 4, 1953, is one of the oldest and most traditional samba schools in the city of São Paulo. The story dates back to 1914, when the Grupo Carnavalesco Barra Funda was created by Dionísio Barbosa, with men wearing green shirts and white pants. During the Estado Novo, they were mistaken for supporters of a political party and persecuted by the police, leading to the end of the parades in 1936. In 1953, Inocêncio Tobias reorganized the group, creating the Cordão Mocidade Camisa Verde e Branco. After winning the Cordão Parade in its first year, the school became champion four more times before becoming a samba school in 1972, winning its first title in 1974. Since its founding, the school has been led by members of the Family Tobias to this day.
