THE Carnival of 2023 will be a fresh start for the revelers, who can’t wait to hit the streets after two years without the momo revelry due to the covid19 pandemic. However, the joy of pulling a crowd won’t be possible for everyone. In the Olindamany of the traditional blocks and sections will remain suspended.
THE Galicia in Folia he is one of them. The block was born out of a friends’ soccer team who decided to travel 34 years ago Uptown on Sunday of Carnival. The joke has grown and reached 500 participants in 2020, when it was last released.
However, the president, Marcones Alves, 52, suffered a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) after contracting the new coronavirus and is still recovering from the injury today. The family therefore decided to devote every effort to the health of the carnival.
“Put the to block on the street it requires time, dedication and attention; and the priority today is his recovery. We tried to put it, but no one would have the strength to handle the bureaucratic part,” said his wife and treasurer of Galícia, Flávia Marcones, 42.
already the No direction and no direction, founded 26 years ago, has been hampered by lack of resources and the Kraken variant of covid-19. The average cost for the block would be BRL 40,000, as it provides food and drink to around 700 revelers on Zé Pereira’s Saturday.
“We did a financial survey and things escalated a lot. We were afraid of not being able to sell enough to pay the expenses,” said the president and founder, Antônio Pereira, 65.
“It’s the first time we’ve stopped showing. If you talk about it, I cry, ”said she, who intends to rearrange the party in 2023.
To the Aratu Red, financial hardships came even before the pandemic. After 19 years, the show did not take place in 2020 due to funding difficulties and will remain so.
“It will continue like this because this year we would not be able to do it, nor would we have the security to leave, because in practice the covid issue is not resolved,” commented the president, Múcio Magalhães, 60.
The blockade cost around R $ 10,000, which involved buying T-shirts, hiring orchestras and organizing the venue, and relied on contributions, which stopped coming.
“With the crisis and the pandemic they no longer wanted to contribute. It was difficult to get a donation of R$200 or R$300 reais […] It was boring and exhausting and I decided I couldn’t take it anymore,” she said.
THE Concrete block, 40 years old, considered not to participate in the 2023 Carnival due to lack of sponsors; however, President Ricardo Cutia, 58, has changed his mind and will pay with the help of revelers.
“My kids, my friends, everyone was asking about the blockade and saying I couldn’t not leave. So only the confirmation of the location is missing, but it should take place on the same day, Carnival Sunday, and with the same structure,” said Cutia.
In 2020 more than 500 people were part of the Cement Block, born from a group of workers in a cement factory.
