Deixa Falar

Deixa Falar was a voluntary carnaval association that was based out of the Estácio neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. It is considered the first ever samba school, along with being the first entity created under that title. Though Portela, for instance, had been established earlier, Deixa Falar is considered a pioneering samba school, having established key tenets of what a samba school is.
