“The idea of the tribute came from the carnival artists Gabriel Haddad and Leonardo Bora, who, together with their creative team, are already developing the narrative and visuals for the next parade. For them, talking about Zeca is talking about a Rio de Janeiro not oficial and from a city of Duque de Caxias that is proud of its memories.
Before the official post, the school had already played with the subject, writing on the social network the phrase: “Have they put it to freeze?” to play with the fame of the beer drinker sambista.
Also on Twitter, the samba singer thanked the tribute and promised to participate in the parades.
