Barroca Zona Sul, a samba school in São Paulo, has its roots in Vila Mariana, where the president of Vai-Vai, "Pé Rachado", lived. After going through several schools, Pé Rachado, encouraged by Cartola, founded Barroca Zona Sul in 1974, bringing together members in his home to create the new association. The school's name and colors were chosen in honor of Mangueira, where Cartola was an important figure. The name "Barroca" refers to Campo Barroca, where the neighborhood's batuqueiros used to gather for samba circles.
