About

Monobloco is a Brazilian bloco, or street band, that plays during Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro and is also a professional touring show. Unlike most of Rio's blocos, which tend play one type of music (typically samba), Monobloco has become extremely popular among younger people because of its 'fresh' sound, playing a mix of various rhythms such as coco, ciranda, marchinha, xote, samba, contemporary R&B, and particularly samba-rock and funk. It continues to grow in popularity each year, and can be seen as a symbol of the resurging popularity in Carnaval blocos in Rio de Janeiro.

Monobloco est un bloco brésilien originaire de Rio de Janeiro. Il a été fondé[Quand ?] par le musicien Pedro Luiz. Contrairement à la plupart des blocos, qui tendent à jouer uniquement de la samba, Monobloco se distingue en intégrant des sons empruntés à différents styles musicaux comme le coco, ciranda, marcha, xote, samba-charme, la samba-rock et le samba-funk.

Monobloco est aujourd’hui[Quand ?] le second bloco le plus populaire du carnaval de Rio[réf. souhaitée].
