Bloco da Anitta, previously Bloco das Poderosas, is a Carnival street party from Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, but it has also paraded in other cities, created by the Brazilian singer Anitta. On January 14, 2016, the bloco was officially launched in Rio de Janeiro during its first rehearsal.
During the 2020s, Bloco da Anitta became listed among the 20 largest Carnival street parties in Brazil.
History.
The bloco was originally created under the name Bloco das Poderosas.
Five rehearsals were held between January and February 2016, with three taking place at the Monte Líbano club in Rio de Janeiro and two at Alto do Andu in Salvador. During four of the rehearsals, Anitta welcomed Harmonia do Samba and Banda Eva to the stage.
In 2019, the singer created the "Ensaios da Anitta" as a pre-event for her Carnival Block, a series of live rehearsals that allow fans to follow the preparation and evolution of the bloco's shows. The project offers a behind-the-scenes look at the choreography and musical productions that are part of the performances.
Subsequently, as it was already informally called "Bloco da Anitta", this name was officially adopted.
In 2024, it paraded from Rua Primeiro de Março, 1 to Av. Pres. Antônio Carlos, 12, in downtown Rio de Janeiro, on the Saturday after Carnival, from 7 AM to noon. It was considered the highlight of the first day of the city's "post-Carnival" celebrations.
