Brava/Carnaval: Grupo Carnavalesco da Furna guarantees that everything is ready to bring brightness and revelry to the people of Brava

The leader of the Furna Carnival Group assured today that they are already prepared to brighten the island, once again, with their brilliance, next Tuesday, 21st, an appointment scheduled at 4 pm, in Nova Sintra.

This guarantee was given to Inforpress by Edivaldo Lopes, responsible for the group, created in 2020, and which this year is the only one to parade through the streets of Nova Sintra on Entrudo day.

According to the same source, this year they will portray the theme of emigration and whaling, as a way of honoring a part of the history of the Brave people.

This year, he informed that the group is divided into four wings and has 150 revelers.

The fact that there were no groups to compete, Edivaldo Lopes stressed that caused a certain demotivation among the elements of the group, because, as he justified, he expected to have a greater participation of the people, but with the absence of the other groups, the motivation was not as much as in the year 2020.

But, even without competition, this official made it clear that the group will present “a good Carnival”, perhaps better than in 2020, the year in which three official groups participated.

On the difficulties, he pointed out that there are several, mainly with regard to materials and lack of support, stressing that in the matter of materials, those found on the island were used.

Asked about any message that he would leave to society in order to get more involved and not let the brightness of Carnival be lost, Edivaldo Lopes highlighted that it is complicated, because it is necessary to “feel” Carnival and even if it has costs, it is necessary to think about the fun and play that Shrovetide provides.

For this, he underlined that young people need to be interested and awaken their creativity capacity in order to “play more and better” at Rei Momo's party.
