Ivete Sangalo extended her Carnival parade route in Salvador, humorously referring to it as 'Ivete Sangalo's route' as she navigated through Avenida Carlos Gomes.
On Tuesday, February 17, marking the final day of Carnival in Salvador, renowned Brazilian singer Ivete Sangalo led a lively parade known as the 'trio pipoca' in the traditional Carnival circuit of Campo Grande. During the parade, she humorously remarked on her extended route as being 'Ivete Sangalo's route', highlighting her significant presence and influence in the local Carnival festivities.
The Osmar circuit, traditionally important in Salvador’s Carnival history, has seen a decline in its use, with many popular blocs shifting to the newer Dodô circuit in Barra-Ondina. Ivete's performance celebrated the nostalgic route where many Carnival trios used to conclude their parades, specifically passing Avenida Carlos Gomes, a location that once marked the end of various parades in years past. Ivete's return to this route underscores a connection to the city's cultural traditions amidst evolving Carnival practices.
Despite the vibrant festivities, Ivete’s parade faced some interruptions, concluding around 5:40 PM, as part of Avenida Carlos Gomes was closed, necessitating an earlier end to the procession. This event not only showcases Ivete Sangalo's ongoing impact on the Bahia Carnival but also illustrates the changes in the event's traditional routes, reinforcing the blend of nostalgia and contemporary celebration that defines Brazilian Carnival.
