Festivals and Heritage in Latin America

Abstract

This text brings an autobiographical narrative of the great interpreter, Carnival, and composer Igor Sorriso. The author tells us about his life, his discovery as a musician and lover of samba, and how his experiences were in various places in Brazil, and especially, as a samba interpreter in the great samba schools of Rio de Janeiro, such as Vila Isabel and, of São Paulo, in Mocidade Alegre. It is important to emphasize that, among his professional autobiography, Igor reveals how much he learned from his career related to Carnival: his perception about caring for his own voice, his contacts, and identifications that made him move to São Paulo, and finally, the recognition that the association/pavilion is the main flag of the Carnival, and therefore, its main patrimony.
