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 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.
