Malunguinho: The Messenger of Three Worlds

Unidos do Viradouro will bring to Marquês de Sapucaí, in 2025, the plot Malunguinho: The Messenger of Three Worlds, written by carnival designer Tarcísio Zanon

The school will tell the story of Malunguinho, an Afro-indigenous entity that moves between worlds as Caboclo, Mestre and Exu/Trunqueiro, a symbol of resistance and freedom.

The narrative returns to the 19th century, in Pernambuco, highlighting the Quilombo do Catucá, where João Batista, the last quilombola leader to adopt the name Malunguinho, faced harsh persecution for his libertarian actions. The plot will bring to the avenue the strength of the quilombola struggle, the ancestry and the fusion between Afro and indigenous cultures, honoring the popular spirituality of the Northeast.

With a powerful and historic parade, Viradouro promises to move the public by highlighting the faith, courage and legacy of Malunguinho in the fight against oppression.

Excerpt from the Samba-Enredo:

Acenda tudo que for de acender,

Deixa a fumaça entrar,

Sobô nirê mafá, sobô nirê,

Evoco, desperto, nação coroada,

Não temo inimigo,

Calopo na estrada, a noite é abrigo,...

Explore more about Origin (19th century – beginning of the Bumba-Meu-Boi festival)
The festival originates from the Bumba-Meu-Boi tradition, a popular manifestation brought to Brazil during the colonial period, with strong Afro-Indigenous and European influences.
In the interior of Amazonas, this tradition blends with local legends, especially the story of the Auto do Boi (Pai Francisco and Mãe Catirina).
1913 – Emergence of the first Bumba-Meu-Boi groups in Parintins
In 1913, records of the first organized Bumba-Meu-Boi groups in Parintins appear.
During this period, the performances were still simple, held in the streets and at religious festivals.
1930–1940 – Consolidation of the rivalry
The Bumba-Meu-Boi groups begin to gain their own identity in the city.
The two rival groups officially emerge:
Boi Garantido (founded in 1913, according to Oral tradition)
Boi Caprichoso (founded in 1913, also with a strong oral tradition)
The rivalry between red (Garantido) and blue (Caprichoso) intensifies.
1965 – Creation of the Parintins Folklore Festival
In 1965, the Parintins Folklore Festival is officially created.
The objective was to organize and value the competition between the oxen.
The presentations leave the streets and begin to have a more formal structure.
1988 – Construction of the Bumbódromo
In 1988, the Bumbódromo of Parintins is inaugurated.
The space was built especially for the festival, with stands divided for the blue and red fan groups.
This marks the professionalization of the event.
1990–2000 – National expansion and international
The festival gains great visibility in the Brazilian media.
The performances now include:
Giant floats
Complex choreography
Advanced stage technology
2010–present – Cultural heritage and mega-event
The festival has established itself as one of the largest open-air spectacles in the world.
Boi Garantido and Boi Caprichoso continue to compete for the title every year on the last weekend of June.
The event attracts tourists from Brazil and abroad.
In 2018, the festival was recognized as a Cultural Heritage of Brazil by IPHAN...

General form: It is written as: \( ax + b = 0 $ Where: a and b → are known numbers (constants). x → is the unknown variable. What is the solution? The solution is the value of x that makes the equation true. How to solve (step by step): 1️⃣ Isolate the term with x: Put the term with x alone on one side. Move the other terms to the other side. 2️⃣ Simplify the equation: Perform operations on both sides. Add or subtract values. 3️⃣ Isolate the variable: Divide both sides by the coefficient of x. Leave x alone. 4️⃣ Find the solution: The value obtained for x is the solution of the equation. It makes the equality true. Example of General Form: Equation: $ ax + b = 0 $ Goal: find x.
