The Nine Oruns of Iansã
Barroca Zona Sul will present the theme The nine oruns of Iansã
at Carnival 2025, bringing an in-depth approach to the powerful orixá of winds and storms.
In addition to telling her story, deeds and loves, the school will highlight the spiritual mission of Iansã, responsible for guiding spirits to the nine sacred heavens. The plot will address her role as Orixá Iyabá, guiding the spirits at the moment of detachment from corporeal matter.
With this choice, Barroca Zona Sul reinforces its tradition in Afro-Brazilian plots and promises an exciting parade full of symbolism at Anhembi.

A rainha das palmeiras destranca o orun-ayê...
