Founded in 1928 by Cartola, Carlos Cachaça and others on the Mangueira hillside, the Estação Primeira is the second-most decorated school in Rio Carnival history with 20 titles. Cartola, who co-founded Mangueira, designed its green and pink colors, and composed hundreds of its sambas, only released his first record at the age of 66, after decades washing cars in Ipanema.
