Laíla de todos os santos
Beija-Flor de Nilópolis announced that its theme for Carnival 2025 will be Laíla de todos os santos, Laíla de todos os Sambas
, a tribute to one of the school's greatest stalwarts. Under the signature of carnival designer João Vitor Araújo and research by Bianca Behrends, Vivian Pereira and Guilherme Niegro, the parade will exalt Laíla's trajectory, her religiosity and her devotion to Xangô, in addition to highlighting her contribution to Carnival.
A key figure in the history of Beija-Flor, Laíla was one of the people largely responsible for revolutionizing the parades, becoming a reference in the harmony and development of the performances. The plot also promises an exciting moment by recreating a symbolic reunion between Laíla and Joãosinho Trinta on the spiritual plane, reliving the partnership that marked the Rio carnival.
With this tribute, Beija-Flor is preparing a parade full of emotion, faith and the grandeur that consecrated Nilópolis at the top of samba.
Excerpt from the samba-enredo:
Da casa de Ogum, Xangô me guia
Da casa de Ogum, Xangô me guia
Dobram atabaques no quilombo Beija-Flor
Terreiro deKaô meu velho!
Volta e me dá os caminhos
Conduz outra vez meu destino
Traz os ventos de Oyá... Laíla, meu griô...
