Carlinhos Maia debuts at the Pernambuco carnival and 'acts like a singer' on the float at Galo da Madrugada
Influencer Carlinhos Maia made his debut at the Pernambuco carnival, performing with singer Raphaela Santos at the Galo da Madrugada parade.
Carlinhos Maia, a popular influencer from Alagoas, marked his debut at the Pernambuco carnival on Saturday, February 14, at the Galo da Madrugada. He was spotted enjoying himself in the official camarote (VIP area) of the block, even playfully 'acting like a singer' as he joined Raphaela Santos, another newcomer, in a performance. This year's theme for Galo da Madrugada is 'Frevo no Planeta Galo,' and the carnival atmosphere was heightened as both Maia and Santos sang together, reflecting the spirit of celebration prevalent throughout the festival.
During the event, Carlinhos Maia expressed his delight in being part of such a significant cultural celebration and highlighted the impressive turnout the block draws each year. His humorous remarks, including a quip about both artists losing their 'virginity' at the parade together, showcased his engaging personality and connection with the audience. The duo performed the widely recognized song 'Você lembra,' further enriching the festive experience for the attendees.
Maia also revealed his admiration for the scale of the event, stating that it differed immensely from what he had imagined from watching on television. The Galo da Madrugada remains one of the largest carnival blocks in the world, and for Maia, participating in such a renowned celebration underscored the vibrant cultural fabric of Brazilian carnivals, especially in Pernambuco, fostering a unique blend of music, dance, and communal joy.
