"Você Só Precisa de
Amor - All You Need Is Love"
G.R.E.S. Sambão Para O Povo
San Francisco Carnaval Parade 2007
Sambão boasts members from over 20 different
countries.
The lyrics of our original composition theme
song ("Enredo") contain 12 of these nations.
The lyrics state that although we come from "many
different lands" we all have once thing in common.
We all need Love!
While written as a traditional fast Samba, the
middle of the song contains a "break"
where the entire contingent sings the chorus
from the Beatle's "All You Need is Love"
complete with the requisite horn flourishes.
Contingent members will also wear small
flags representing their home countries or national
origins illustrating that
with Love, the whole world feels great!
Sambão always emulates the Escolas de Samba,
or Samba Schools of Rio de Jeniero, Brazil.
Every year they compose and original theme song
(Enredo) and illustrate the lyrics through costumes,
color coordination, bateria costumes, and float
design. The contingent always includes the required
traditional elements from Rio's Escolas such
as the Lead Commission (Commisão de Frente),
multiply wing (alas) of dancers, an "ala" of
baihnas (dancers in traditional large dresses),
a flag bearer and her guard (Porta Bandeira and
Mestre Sala), a Queen of the Bateria
(Reihna de Bateria), the bateria, and one or
more floats/sound trucks with the
singers (Puxadores) and stringed musicians.
