Carnavalize

Carnavalize is a Brazilian multimedia platform and brand focused on the culture, history and personalities of carnival and samba schools. According to its official website, it describes itself as a multiplatform project that seeks to value carnival and samba schools by rescuing their history and great characters. It operates not only on the internet and social media but also in the production of events, exhibitions and products that celebrate what it calls Brazil's greatest artistic-cultural event. The platform publishes news, interviews, analyses and features about carnival, including coverage of technical rehearsals, samba school parades, bateria (drum section) events and the people involved in carnival. Its content spans the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo carnival scenes, with articles about schools such as Imperatriz Leopoldinense, Porto da Pedra, Unidos da Tijuca, Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel, Águia de Ouro, Nenê de Vila Matilde and Estrela do Terceiro Milênio. Carnavalize also maintains a literary imprint, Selo Carnavalize, which has released titles such as "Histórias da Portela". The brand engages its audience through a newsletter and social media channels including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Its team includes contributors with deep roots in samba and carnival, such as Juliana Yamamoto, who joined in 2016 and covers São Paulo carnival, and another team member who has been part of Carnavalize since 2017. The platform's mission is expressed in its slogan-like statement: "Carnavalizamos nossas vidas e queremos sempre carnavalizar a de todos vocês!" (We carnivalize our lives and always want to carnivalize yours!).
