Crocodilo
Founded
in: 1987
Crocodilo
first took part in the parade in 1987. at the end of the 80's
there was a group created in Salvador that had the purpose of
making the grounds shake. The Carnival gained another reptile,
better yet there was the birth of the crocodile.
The Bloco of Ladeira da Barra, as it became known, entered with
the right foot, the left foot and the all body at once: it was
the crocodile dance, a choreography front-manned by Jorge Zárath
that infected all and pleased Brazilin viewers on the television.
The corcodile promessed more. They brought the band Asa de Águia
and made unforgettable parties the next two years. After that
it brought Ricardo Chavez who made "O Bicho" a great
musical success through Brazil.
