Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>Just so we understand each other: life is two days, Carnival is three, except in Sa\u0303o Vicente, where it starts in January. Now that things are clear, let’s get down to business.<\/p>\n

We are just a few days away from another high season of the Sa\u0303o Vicente way of life. On Tuesday night (4), five official groups will compete for the title of winner and all other prizes in the competition, in a year that is marked by the return of Vindos do Oriente to the official competition. The day before, on Monday night (3), the usual parade of the Tropical Samba School (EST). Before that, many schools, gardens and other institutions will present their creations in the historic center of Mindelo.<\/p>\n

The assembly of the stands began on February 20th and, as in recent years, structures will be placed on Rua de Lisboa, Avenida Baltasar Lopes and Prac\u0327a Nova, with a total of around 4 thousand seats.<\/p>\n

Tickets will be sold on Saturday, from 8 am to 4 pm, and Sunday, from 10 am to 3 pm. The ticket office will be located at the Training Center, next to the Ade\u0301rito Sena stadium. Prices vary. For Monday night, a seat in the stands at Prac\u0327a Nova will cost R$300, on Av. Baltasar Lopes, 1,000$00, on Lisbon Street, 1,500$00. For the big day, Tuesday, a spot at Prac\u0327a Nova will cost R$1,000.00, to watch Carnival on Av. Baltasar Lopes will involve spending $1,500.00, while being present on Rua de Lisboa will mean an investment of $2,000.00.<\/p>\n

Each person can buy a maximum of two tickets for Tuesday and there are no reserved seats (oh, and bring cash in your pocket, as the organization will not accept payments with Vinti4).<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Culture and Creative Industries announced that it has reserved 7,200 contos for the Sa\u0303o Vicente Carnival, to be distributed among the different official groups, via the Independent League of Official Carnival Groups (LIGOC-SV).<\/p>\n

The local government also supported the preparations and by Tuesday had already made R$2,000 available to each group.<\/p>\n

Coming from the East The party-goers of Vindos do Oriente (VO) return to tread on a ground that is rightfully theirs. In 2025, and signed by carnival designer Cla\u0301udio Miranda, the group is betting on the theme \u201cThe daughters of Isis, the cradle of life, their struggles and achievements\u201d. A tribute to Cape Verdean women and in a very special way to Lili Freitas and Cely Freitas, historical leaders of the association, who left us in recent years.<\/p>\n

Setting the pace and livening up the 1,000 to 1,200 expected revelers was the musical theme \u201cSe carnaval era gente\u201d, by the duo Ani\u0301sio and Jotace\u0302.<\/p>\n

Flores do Mindelo \u201cA dream, a wish, a journey from Africa to the Amazon\u201d is the plot of Flores do Mindelo, proposed by Ana Soares, president of the group. An imaginary journey and an opportunity to promote unity and dialogue between different cultures and ethnicities, but with countless points of contact.<\/p>\n

Flores do Mindelo hopes to mobilize 700 revelers, who will parade to the sound of \u201cDestine tracede\u201d, the title of the song composed and written by Gai Dias.<\/p>\n

Estrela do Mar As in other editions, the Estrela do Mar group takes advantage of Carnival 2025 to call for greater environmental awareness. \u201cI Love Terra \u2013 In defense of its green orchard, Estrela do Mar calls for an end to global warming\u201d is the plot developed by carnival designer Emanuel Ribeiro. A way to raise awareness among the population about a serious issue, climate change.<\/p>\n

800 revelers are expected, who will samba to the rhythm of \u201cI love terra\u201d, by Emanuel Ribeiro, performed by Yannick.<\/p>\n

Cruzeiros do Norte Fernando \u2018No\u0301ia\u2019 Morais prepared, for Cruzeiros do Norte, the theme \u201cLighthouse of the Atlantic, shining with a thousand lights\u201d. The group promises an opera in four acts, from the arrival of Portuguese navigators to the mixing of cultures that characterizes contemporary Cape Verde.<\/p>\n

1,200 revelers are expected. The song is \u201cCaldeira\u0303o d\u2019Atlantico\u201d, by Edson Oliveira.<\/p>\n

Monte Sossego Winner in 2020, 2023 and 2024, the Monte Sossego Carnival Group knows that the responsibility is great (and so are the expectations). In 2025, the association is betting on a kind of return to its origins and paying tribute to 40 years of history, with the theme \u201cTerra d\u2019Indio em festa \u2013 Celebration of the neighborhood that generated a nation\u201d, conceived by the duo Valdir Brito and \u2018Boss\u2019 Brito.<\/p>\n

Constantino Cardoso provides music for the party, with \u201cCelebra\u0301 terra d\u2019I\u0301ndio\u201d. Once again, more than a thousand revelers are expected.<\/p>\n

Samba Tropical EST is not included in Tuesday’s competition. \u201cThe apotheosis of the Mindelo Carnival. \u201cSeven Streets, One History\u201d pays homage to the historical trajectory of the Mindelo Carnival and brings fragments of plots from other groups that marked the party in the city\u2019s streets over the years. \u201cTcha Bem Folia\u201d is the song written by Ani\u0301sio and Jotace\u0302.<\/p>\n

Expectations For Fla\u0301vio Fernandes, from Ra\u0301dio Morabeza, who has coordinated the special Carnival broadcasts for several years, from Mindelo, it will be another high-level year. Monte Sossego and Vindos do Oriente start as favorites,<\/p>\n
