I'm always looking for beats.

No Salgueiro's 'Explode Coração', no credibility

Anyone been to carnival/carnival in Salvador, Bahia?

11 years now can we get a volume 2? This one is great.

Meanwhile, the blocos afro developed a tradition of performing late at night, when network coverage dwindles, and potential viewers are asleep. Although the Afródromo parade and some blocos — including Olodum, Muzenza and Didá — did play the main carnaval showcases, they were rare.

Ilê-Aiyê — the pioneering bloco afro founded in 1974 — was accompanied by a dawn chorus of birds when it performed a booming affirmation of African culture and black pride in the wee hours of Sunday morning at Campo Grande. (Its members would join the Afródromo parade just hours later.) Less exposure means less money for the blocos’ offstage efforts. Many run programs to help keep teenagers out of trouble. The forceful female bloco afro Didá also runs initiatives to prevent domestic violence.

That was 3 years ago

From what I've heard, the Afro-blocos are still struggling. No sponsored "camarotes"(grandstand seats) on their carnival route this year.

But Ile Aiye is still at it

And they were great. They didn't have a sponsored camorote, but there were some there. We chose just to stand with the masses.

That was in Salvador, Bahia. Meanwhile at the Sambodrome in Rio, the night before:

One of Rio de Janeiro's most traditional samba schools, Mangueira, has won this year's Carnival.
It was the school's 18th title, won with the help of some 4,300 participants in the sumptuous parade.
Fans of the samba school, which is rooted in Rio's Mangueira favela, screamed with joy as the results were read out.
In an indication of how high the stakes are in the carnival championship, the results came in an armoured car.

Mangueira paid homage to Maria Bethania, one of Brazil's most loved performer of MPB - Brazilian pop music

I still need to listen to my samba 2016 comp I bought in Rio

Its pretty good but a tad repetitive. A collection of the various samba schools that took part in the Carnaval finals at the Sambadrome in Rio. Its better with the visuals, but the drum-filled sounds alone are still joyful and exciting.

Here's an interesting 1999 article
