Cameleão

Founded in: 1978

The bloco Cameleão was funded in 1978 by a group of young students from Salvador. The objective was to become the most business oriented Carnival's group. The name was a suggestion of the sculptor Bel Barbosa, in honour of the chameleons that lived in the Praça da piedade in Salvador.
Great bahian singers have singed in this bloco like; Luiz Caldas, Sarajane and Carlinhos Brown. But since 1990 the Cameleão started its traditional cooperation with the group Chiclete com Banana and established itself as the best bloco of Salvador.
To commemorate all this success, the Chiclete created songs that have become part of the history of the bloco. Songs like: "Cara Caramba Sou Camaleão", "Meu Bem Quero Te Amar", "Dê um grito aí", e "É Mugegé".
