Members of Unidos da Tijuca samba school perform during the first night of Rio's Carnival at the Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro.
In total, 14 samba schools from the elite so-called “special group” will parade on Sunday and Monday nights at the packed purpose-built stadium known as the Sambodrome, to compete for the prestigious Carnival title. One of Sunday’s most anticipated groups is current champions Beija-Flor, which triumphed last year with spectacular, hard-hitting floats depicting violence and corruption in Brazil.
A section of their parade will feature dancers in costumes designed by French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier.
