Roda de Samba do Cardosão is recognized as an intangible Cultural Heritage Site of Rio

The traditional Samba do Cardosão, held in Laranjeiras, was officially recognized as an intangible Cultural Heritage Site of Rio. The law granting the title was promulgated and published in the Official Gazette on Wednesday, July 2.

The wheel, which has been moving the neighborhood for years and brings together samba lovers from all over the city and tourists, now integrates the list of goods protected by the affective, artistic and social memory of Rio. Recognition values the role of the wheel as a space of cultural resistance, celebration of popular music and community coexistence.

Recognition is a symbolic gesture of respect and encouragement for the maintenance of samba wheels as a legitimate expression of popular culture, reinforcing the fundamental role of these meetings in the construction of Rio identity.
