More About Tom Maior 2010:

The São Paulo samba school celebrating Brasília's anniversary (in Rio de Janeiro, that will be done by Beija-Flor) has a whole sector with costumes based on Oscar Niemeyer's architecture. Tom Maior is covering ecotourism, the local rock and punk scene, hospitality and, like Beija-Flor, the mystic Vale do Amanhecer community in the subthemes. Naturally, the expectation around floats will be enormous and it will be interesting to see how Tom Maior applies its creativity to the theme, especially architecture.
