I didn't receive any notice regarding my dismissal as head of Ritmo Feroz drums, I was surprised. Despite the moment of sadness, I want to thank you for the three incredible years I spent there. I was received with great affection and respect for my battery, other segments and the community. Porto da Pedra is part of a beautiful story that I have built here in Rio de Janeiro as a drum queen, for which I am forever grateful. I hope that Tigre de São Gonçalo returns to the Special Group, a place he should never have left.
It should be recalled that Minerato, who paraded for years in Gaviões da Fiel in São Paulo, criticized the São Paulo Carnival.
“I stand by my statement. There is still a shortage of spices in São Paulo. The little Rio spice that is only available here. The locals are more receptive and the heat on the avenue is greater. It's beautiful there, but Rio is the birthplace of samba. Everything happens here.”
When asked if she plans to parade again in São Paulo, she says: “I'm still processing everything. I don’t know what to say.”
