The Boi-Bumbá Season in Manaus, with Caprichoso and Garantido rehearsals, starts this Sunday (7), at 6 pm, at the Convention Center.
The opening party will have free entry and will feature a special show by the samba school Reino da Liberdade, four-time champion of the Amazon Carnival.
The event continues with shows by Caprichoso artists and, at the end of the night, there will be a presentation of the Garantido attractions.

In total, there will be four individual trials for each boi-bumbá and two together.
