Journalists Aline Midlej and Rodrigo Bocardi will lead the broadcast of the Carnival parades in São Paulo on TV Globo. The revelry will be shown throughout Brazil. “I hope to honor the trajectory of Carnival in São Paulo, my land, with the same love that I have felt every time I visit the barracks”, says Midlej.

His colleague celebrates “the greater interaction and proximity with the public” that coverage of the popular festival provides. The duo will also be accompanied by Ailton Graça, Alemão do Cavaco and Celso Viafora, who will comment on the performance of each samba school on the avenue.
