The Viúvas da Torre block is celebrating this Sunday during the carnival in João Pessoa, with the renowned band Nação Zumbi taking the lead. As part of the ongoing Folia de Rua project, the event will kick off at 3 PM on Avenida Carneiro da Cunha in the Torre neighborhood. Alongside Nação Zumbi, attendees can enjoy additional performances by Seu Pereira, Totonho, Val Donato, Kojac, and Potyzinho, as well as the Maracatu Leãozinho das Flores and orchestras Azdd and Porta do Sol.

Established in 1993, the Viúvas da Torre block is the oldest in the Torre neighborhood and stands as a symbol of the resistance of popular culture in João Pessoa. Its founding members began this carnival tradition aiming to foster irreverence and relaxation, encouraging community participation in the festivities. Over the years, it has maintained its character and grown in significance, becoming a beloved event for locals and visitors alike.

The Viúvas da Torre block not only serves as an entertaining spectacle but also reinforces cultural identity and community bonds through music and celebration. As carnival continues to be an essential part of Brazilian cultural heritage, events like this showcase the enduring spirit and creativity of the city of João Pessoa, drawing in both residents and tourists to engage in traditional festivities and to enjoy the vibrant energy of Nação Zumbi and other performers.
