Chocolatte da Vila Maria celebrates Carnival for All in São Paulo
The Chocolatte Block is a vibrant carnival group from São Paulo that was founded in 2012 by the talented samba and percussionist Chocolatte da Vila Maria. Since its official registration in 2017 by the Cultural Recreative Association and Assistencial Bloco do Chocolatte (ARCA), the block has been committed to preserving and celebrating the rich culture of the old carnivals. By performing samba classics, traditional marches and promoting high party wheel, the Chocolatte Block brings to life the essence of street carnival, creating an atmosphere of joy and nostalgia.
With events held predominantly in the North Zone from São Paulo, the Chocolatte Block provides a family-friendly and welcoming environment, where revelers of all ages can enjoy the festivities in a climate of togetherness and celebration. In 2024, the group paraded with great enthusiasm in Vila Maria, gathering on Avenida Nadir Dias de Figueiredo, attracting a crowd that was captivated by the contagious energy of the music and dance.
For 2025, Bloco do Chocolatte has already announced its schedule, promising to revive the samba classics and traditional marchinhas that have rocked generations. Located in an area further away from the big city center, the group maintains a strong cultural and social connection with the community, promoting mobility for revelers and ensuring a vibrant and inclusive Carnival. This year, it brings the best of samba and carnival with the presence of the Bateria de Toronto - Canada and the Consulate of Cuba already opening the doors for Bloquinho do Chocolatte to possibly open an international carnival.
Bloco do Chocolatte's goal goes beyond the festivities. With a clear vision of strengthening local culture, supporting independent artists and ensuring that Carnival is a celebration for everyone, the group stands out as a true defender of tradition and cultural diversity. By celebrating the richness of samba and Carnival, Bloco do Chocolatte reaffirms its commitment to making this festivity an accessible and democratic space, where everyone can feel part of the party and the history it represents.
Therefore, Bloco do Chocolatte has been celebrating Carnival for Brazilian families in Vila Maria and Vila Guilherme and the entire North Zone of the São Paulo's city for 14 years. The samba musicians celebrate their block without an abadá, inviting all visitors to contribute just one kilo of non-perishable food, making the celebration social and collaborative for the CPS Cônego Luiz Biasi Institution, which cares for more than 1,500 children. Celebrating Carnival without forgetting the social aspect!

Imagine having the opportunity to create a citizen-led redistricting commission in your state. If successful, it would ensure that voters chose their representatives, and not the other way around. It sounds like a dream, and last year, Ohio voters nearly pulled it off. But partisan forces and outside interests mobilized (and spent millions) to sabotage the ballot initiative. And it fell short of passage. Wash, rinse, repeat. It’s the same old story in Ohio. Every time voters here try to make their politicians more accountable, political map manipulators do everything in their power to try and stop them. But that’s not the end of the story. Ohio is gearing up for another, mid-decade redraw of its congressional map later this year. That’s where we come in. All On The Line is working to stop map manipulators from stealing seats through partisan gerrymandering. Chip in any amount you can to fund our movement for fair maps across the country as we prepare to stop another attempt at a brutal, partisan gerrymander in Ohio. | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | |
We’ve seen over and over again in Ohio that political power brokers are shameless in their cynical attempts to manipulate electoral maps to preserve their political power and silence the will of the people. They’ve thwarted nonpartisan reform efforts, ignored judicial rulings, and plowed forward with extreme gerrymanders. The good thing is we know their playbook, and we know how to fight back. The only way to protect voters from partisan map manipulation and ensure our democracy grows more representative is by coming together and pushing back. Donate today to help fight gerrymandering in Ohio and across the country, so we can build a better, stronger, and more representative electoral system. Thank you so much, The All On The Line Team All On The Line is the grassroots advocacy campaign supported by the National Redistricting Action Fund. Support our work to end gerrymandering.

🫏 If you are a local Democrat, please continue reading.
State Democrats are facing competitive special elections – one of the most important being a tie-breaking race in the Pennsylvania House. If Democrats lose this seat, Republicans will flip control of the House, giving the GOP full control of the PA legislature.
We’re counting on grassroots supporters to help elect Democrats who will fight the extreme MAGA agenda. A $7 donation is all it takes to fuel our work → |
If every supporter reading this donated $7 to support state Dems today, we’d have the resources to defend and expand Democratic power from right-wing extremists in state legislatures across the map. 💪
But we know not everyone can pitch in right now, so we’re relying on our most dedicated supporters to make your first donation of the year to the DLCC. |
We hope you can step up today. 🙂
Thank you,
Team DLCC |
