The second night of the special group parades at São Paulo's Carnival was marked by a series of balanced performances that captivated the audience. Key participants such as Império de Casa Verde, Mocidade Alegre, and Gaviões da Fiel took center stage, demonstrating the rich cultural expressions inherent to this vibrant festival. The event featured seven samba schools, building on the excitement from the previous night, which had seen another seven schools showcase their creativity and energy.

Império de Casa Verde opened the evening with its captivating theme 'Império dos Balangadãs: black jewelry of Afro-Brazilian heritage'. Their performance cleverly referenced ancestral jewelry, symbolizing the historical resistance of the Black community against slavery, and the creative elements were particularly noted for their impressive execution. A standout moment was the appearance of a large golden tiger, the symbol of the school, alongside a striking sculpture of the 'mother of gold', which drew significant attention from the audience.

This year’s Carnival has not only highlighted the competitive spirit of the samba schools but also the cultural depth of their themes, promising to retain the audience's interest as the results for the champion and the two relegated schools will be announced shortly. Such events are characterized by their rich history in Brazil, where each performance not only serves as entertainment but also as a platform for social commentary and cultural identity among the communities represented.
