Rio Carnival Samba Parade - Mestre Sala and Porta Bandeira

The most important couple in a samba school is the porta-bandeira, who holds the school banner, and the mestre-sala, who leads the way calling the attention of the audience to his partner.
The luxury of their costumes and the elaborate dance are a show apart.

These are the main Porta-Bandeira and Mestre-Sala of Portela in action. A new touch to their performance is that they were "cordoned off" by a group of nymphs so that they enough room for all the intricate steps. Enjoy!
