Enzo Celulari has made a triumphant return to the drum section of Beija-Flor de Nilópolis after an eight-year absence from the prominent samba school. His return comes as he aims to honor the legacy of his father, who was instrumental in his early passion for samba and drumming. Celulari revealed that his first experience with the Beija-Flor school was when he was just five years old, and it was his father's influence that cultivated his love for the samba rhythms.

In preparation for his return, Celulari has been practicing the 'repique,' the same percussion instrument played by his father, emphasizing the dedication and seriousness required to engage with the musical role effectively. His commitment involves juggling his professional obligations while ensuring he can devote adequate time to the samba school. Celulari expressed hope that his return will extend good luck, as he lovingly referred to the sentiment of being a 'pé-quente,' or lucky charm, for the group.

The event underscores the deep emotional connection between family legacies and cultural traditions in Brazil, particularly within the context of samba music and the illustrious Beija-Flor school. By stepping back into this role, Celulari not only revives his personal history with the art form but also reinforces the cultural significance of family and heritage within the samba community, contributing to the ongoing vibrancy of this cherished Brazilian tradition.
