Ton Rodrigues
Ton Rodrigues, 41, is the organizer of the vibrant carnival bloco 'Vai Tomar na Cuia,' which recently celebrated its inaugural parade at Pedra do Sal in Rio de Janeiro. Five years ago, he conceived the idea for the bloco during a meeting of nortistas and cariocas, aiming to blend the rich musical traditions of the Amazon, such as carimbó and banguê, with the festive spirit of Rio's carnival. Inspired by the song 'Vai Tomar na Cuma' by the band Afroribeirinhos, Ton highlights the cultural exchange between migrants from the North and the local community, using carnival as a joyful means to unite and celebrate through music, dance, and traditional food like tacacá.
