Moraes Moreira livens up the Municipal Carnival Ball.
"I'm not from the old carnivals, I'm from the eternal carnivals. Eternal carnivals are made with everything, past and present," stated Moraes Moreira, praising the initiative of the 1st Municipal Carnival Ball, promoted by the Palmas City Hall at the Cultural Space; the Metropolitan Municipal Guard Band and singer Nacha Moretto enlivened the beginning of the party, which also included prizes for the best costumes.
Tocantins 247 - A party for all ages, and one that aims to become a tradition in the capital. That was the 1st Municipal Carnival Ball of Palmas, which brought children and adults to the Cultural Space for a day of music, dance, and fun to the sound of Carnival marches and the music of Moraes Moreira. The event was promoted by the Palmas Cultural Foundation in partnership with the Palmas Civil Servants Association (Assemp).
To welcome the guests, the Cultural Space was adorned with color and light, and early in the afternoon, children dressed in their costumes arrived for the matinee that began at 15 pm. DJs, the Municipal Metropolitan Guard Band, and singer Nacha Moretto entertained the crowd at the start of the party, which also included prizes for the best costumes.
"I arrived here in the early afternoon to bring my children, who are loving the party. I hope this idea is repeated next year, as it's a simple and healthy form of entertainment," said public servant Joana D'arc de Sousa.
The president of the Palmas Cultural Foundation, Eliane Campos, stated that the goal is to revive the popular culture of Carnival marchinhas in Palmas. "We saw children here, but also young people and the elderly. It's a start, and we are very pleased."
Moraes Moreira
The Ball ended with music by Moraes Moreira, who brought to Palmas classic hits from his time with Novos Baianos and from the album Acabou Chorare, as well as songs from his current repertoire.
"I'm not from the old carnivals, I'm from the eternal carnivals. We make eternal carnivals with everything, past and present," said Moraes Moreira, praising the initiative of the Ball.
The artist energized the audience, who danced and sang until the end of the performance, as did the architect and urban planner Giovanni Assis. "This festival is beautiful, for its cultural revival, for its respect for the schedule, and for the beauty of the decorations. I hope the City Hall will continue with this event in future carnivals," he stated. (From Secom Palmas)
