The Story
Founded in 1928 by Cartola, Carlos Cachaça, and other notable figures on the ascent of Mangueira, Estação Primeira is the second most victorious school in the history of Rio Carnival, with 20 titles. Cartola designed its green and pink colors and composed hundreds of its sambas, only releasing his first album at 66 years old, after decades of washing cars in Ipanema.
