During the Carnival festivities in Salvador, singer Bell Marques voiced his frustration about a significant delay experienced by the Camaleão block, which is a popular attraction in the Barra-Ondina circuit. The delay was reportedly caused by a problem with the Olodum block's truck, which was positioned in front of Camaleão. Marques pointed out that such issues are recurrent every year, prompting him to question why nothing has been done to prevent it.

Marques explained that the Camaleão block was unable to maintain its pace due to the blockage, which posed risks to the quality and dynamics of their performance. He stressed that if his block were to attempt to follow the sequence of the Olodum block, it would jeopardize their own routine since they have a distinct rhythm and style that differ from Olodum’s.

The incident not only highlights operational challenges faced during large-scale events like Carnival but also raises concerns about the logistics and coordination among different blocks. Marques's comments may spark discussions on improving infrastructure and communication to ensure smoother operations in future festivities, as such delays can affect the experience of both performers and audiences alike.
