Anitta will take the lead at one of Rio de Janeiro’s most spectacular Carnival parades in 2027. The Brazilian singer has been named the new drum queen of samba school Grande Rio, giving her one of the celebration’s most emblematic roles.

The announcement places Anitta at the head of Grande Rio’s percussion section during the school’s parade at the Sambadrome. She will serve as the link between the hundreds of musicians in the bateria and the crowd watching the performance.

The role demands skill, charisma and beauty, according to the report, because the queen represents her samba school throughout the parade. Wearing feathers and sequins and standing on very high heels, Anitta will guide the bateria for more than an hour.

She will lead the percussion section along the Sambadrome’s 700-meter track, set to the samba rhythm chosen for the school’s Carnival theme. The parades are regarded as the world’s largest open-air spectacle and the central attraction of Rio’s Carnival.
