CARNIVAL WITH CONSCIENCE

The Ska Reggae Cultural Group, active in the Brazilian scene since 1995, develops sociocultural activities focused on inclusion, racial identity, memory, ancestry, and anti-racist carnival movements, aiming to bring Afro-Bahian culture to the world. Using its own resources and government subsidies focused on African-Brazilian groups, through public selection, Ska Reggae parades through the Historic Center of Salvador during Carnival, encouraging the development of a civic culture with all the beauty, ancestral roots, and historical legacy they carry.
Focused on this commitment to promoting, preserving, and valuing Afro-Brazilian culture, the group attracts new members, partners, and tourists each year who appreciate the local culture.
In 2025, a group of Argentines were enchanted by the Bloco's beauty, musicality, and irreverence, reinforcing the importance of a popular, diverse, and inclusive Carnival and promising to return to enjoy the Bloco's parade again. To our readers, we leave as a Carnival tip the opportunity to take a stroll through the Historic Center of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, following the Ska Reggae Group, bringing the colors and essence of reggae to the biggest street party in the world, thus disseminating the mission of the group, which since 1995 has paid homage to the ancestral Jamaican genre, the sound of the communities and the resistance of the black body that moves us so much.
