Founded on April 4, 1946, at "Praca Onze" Eleventh Square, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, G.R.E.S.
UNIDOS DE VILA ISABEL is the cradle of samba tradition of Rio de Janeiro's
famous Carnaval. The pride and glory of Rio's Vila Isabel neighborhood, they sport the colors
Blue and White. Vila is also the home of famous Brazilian
composers such as Noel Rosa and Martinho da Vila who's 1988 samba song,
"KIZOMBA, FESTA DA RACA" , composed for Vila's parade, commemorated 100 years since the freedom of slaves in Brazil - a song which won Vila the winner title
for that year's Special Group parade. The song linked the proud heritage of the slave revolts to the culture of
the poor neighborhood of Vila Isabel that disputed the championship with its rousing, powerful anthem. "Kizomba, Feast
of the Race".
This website was created
to keep members, fans and the general public informed of all news and events concerned Vila Isabel
Samba School, and to attract a broader audience to its splendor. We'll use this site to get the word out
on Vila Isabel as a cultural and recreative organization and to create a better sense of community among all members and fans.
We'll continue to include pictures of Vila's performances and members of past and future carnaval parades.
In 2004 Vila Isabel became the winner
of the Access Group with the winning theme: "A VILA E PARA TI". In
2005, Vila Isabel returned to its formal
glory as a member of the parade on the Special Group and closed the first day of the parades, on Sunday February
6, 2005 with the theme: "Singrando Em Mares
Bravios...Construindo O Futuro." MARTINHO DA VILA and JOAZINHO TRINTA were
the authors of the theme. The artistic director for the 2005, was Joaozinho Trinta, who was hospitalized
at the time of the parade and unfortunately couldn't be present but Vila Isabel returned to stay in the Special Group and
presented a magnificent parade in form of sparkling, blue oceans.
