Yoruba Yemoja float with 10,000 Litres of water by Mocidade Alegre Won the São Paulo Carnival 2026 in Brazil!

This majestic allegorical float, a viral sensation during the parade, featured Yemoja (Iemanjá) Yemoja was powerfully incorporated because the enredo “Malunga Léa – Rapsódia de uma Deusa Negra” was a heartfelt tribute to the late legendary Brazilian actress Léa Garcia (1930–2023).

The theme celebrated her as a “deusa negra” (“Black” Goddess): her resilience, ancestral strength, female empowerment, and trailblazing representation of Afro-Brazilian identity.
