Actress Marina Ruy Barbosa was spotted dancing on the float of DJ Pedro Sampaio during the Salvador carnival on the evening of Thursday, February 12. In a video captured by G1's reporting team, Barbosa danced to the popular song 'Baile de Favela' alongside other guests, showcasing her enthusiasm for the festive occasion. This year marked a significant milestone for the DJ as it was his debut performance at the carnival in Salvador, particularly in the famed Barra-Ondina circuit.

Pedro Sampaio's float featured a costume inspired by Dona Hermínia, a character from a beloved comedy franchise by the late Paulo Gustavo, who passed away in 2021 due to Covid-19. The costume was designed under the direction of stylist Marcell Maia and aimed to honor prominent and 'chaotic' figures in Brazilian culture as part of Sampaio's visual concept for this year’s carnival. This tribute not only celebrates the legacy of Paulo Gustavo but also adds a cultural depth to the carnival festivities, making the event even more memorable for attendees.

The Salvador carnival is known for its vibrant and energetic atmosphere, drawing in thousands of spectators and participants each year. With top artists and DJs like Pedro Sampaio taking the stage, this annual event remains a cornerstone of Brazilian culture, showcasing music, dance, and a sense of community. The sight of well-known personalities like Marina Ruy Barbosa enjoying the carnival serves to inspire others to partake in this rich cultural tradition while recognizing its importance in celebrating Brazil's artistic and social history.
