Samba School Andanças de Ciganos is a notable institution in the carnival scene in Manaus, Amazonas. Founded in the 1970s as a carnival block, its origins were associated with the Bloco do Macacão, created in 1974. However, it only adopted the name Andanças de Ciganos in 1976. Its headquarters are located in the neighborhood of Cachoeirinha, which may be related with gypsy camps in the region during the 70s or the popularity of the song "Andanças" at the time. Initially as a block, Andanças de Ciganos had a remarkable performance, achieving consecutive victories in carnivals between 1976 and 1980, with two runners-up finishes afterwards. In 1984, he transitioned to a samba school.
