Carnaval Drum Queens, Queen of the Drums, Percussion, or Muse, given some names of the translators, the expression of the Brazilian carnival “Rainha de Bateria”. We decided to use the term “Carnival Drum Queens” because it represents the best in our opinion, to use the Brazilian real sense. Carnaval Drum Queens are, essentially, that the Muses are marked in each section before the fashion show in a samba school Carnival Brazil drum. Let’s see how it all began.
Some historians claim that the original beauty of this figure goes back to the fifties and sixties, but only after the mid-eighties with model Monique Evans School Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel samba that got the job status it has today. These goddesses Carnival, certain attributes to become a real Drum Queen. Not all are the Muses Drum Carnival Queens. The “Rainhas the bateria are” high up the chain of social status (for women) in the Brazilian Carnival, and are responsible for the “Opening and welcome” the drum of drums in all the major samba schools in Brazil. The position is strong and for intense competition among the possible candidates sparks. The “Rainhas the bateria are generally young (between 18 to 50), and very physical. This is so since we need all the energy needed to samba in a series of events such as dance rehearsals backstage samba parades technical exhibitions, video clips and promotional parties Samba.
In addition to being young and beautiful, the “Rainhas the Bateria photogenic” has much to gain as much attention as possible by the specialized media and the public. Carnaval Drum Queens are photographed throughout the year, and this media attention and exposure adds popularity and glamor of the final presentation of the samba school at the official parade. In all of the attributes, charisma is probably the most important candidate for this position, she must be very charismatic, the empathy in the public schools of samba, the media and the general public.

Ideally be achieved Queens Drum dancers. Because of this large, to promote Drum Queens a vital and active member of a samba school of the community during the year.
Now that we are the most important attributes of a drum section of the Queen must know, we will explain how they are selected. Samba schools in Brazil are similar in structure to the power of corporations in America, a president, administrators, support staff, etc. Drum Queens are generally chosen by the President of the Samba Schools and the Board of Directors. At the end of every carnival they examine the overall performance of the beautiful.

People to Samba schools connected, such as sponsors and partners often try to influence the president to push for a particular muse, but the final decision is taken by the President of the samba school.
Although the Queen of the drum is not paid by the school, there is much interest in the position. Drum Queens are usually taken from the entertainment world, and most of them are Brazilian television actresses, dancers, celebrities, singers or celebrities.
Whenever a new “Rainha de Bateria”, or when the actual “elected” to the position, the School of Samba-up part of the “coronation”, where the President has the muse to the press, drum section and the components of a samba school. She then uses her love and commitment to the samba school flag. His ruling period begins immediately in this ritual, and continue for at least a “yes” if all goes well.
It is important, are the queens are not necessarily associated with a particular school of Samba.

Finally, measured as interesting as a curiosity, the Carnival Queens Drum all these effects we described above, the performance of the Bateria Rainhas incredibly not in the official competition of the carnival. This means that the presentation was by the Queen during the parade, a drum competition, not to test. (Carnival Many journalists noted that they finally, a criterion for the official competition has become.)
Sometimes all legendary Drum Section Queens Brazil are definitely the following models: Adriane Galisteu, Luiza Brunet, Fabia Borges, Juliana Paes, Viviane Araujo, Luciana Gimenez, and Thatiana Pagung.
