Carnival is the largest celebration of popular culture in the world.
It is also one of the most powerful platforms for knowledge, identity and collective expression.
When the ocean enters the avenue, it stops being scenery and becomes awareness.
Ocean culture lives in the arts, in music, in faith, in the memory of fishers, in the history of navigators — and in the samba that echoes to millions.
Bringing the sea to the heart of Carnival is more than a theme. It is a statement: the ocean belongs at the center of society.
Cultural expression is one of the most effective ways to expand ocean literacy and strengthen the connection between people and the sea.
Celebrate responsibly.
Jump safely.
Keep rivers and beaches clean — the ocean is grateful.
Samba-Enredo – X-9 de Santos 2026
A Pioneira, a navegar
No vai e vem da maré
No balanço do mar
Vai desaguar a razão que nos move
Meu oceano de amor X-9
Obra, criada por Deus
Jóia da mãe natureza
Ventre da vida
De azul infinito
Faz meu Carnaval mais bonito
Vem se banhar
No universo da criação
Desbravar, nas profundezas mergulhar
Água que acalma e cura a alma
Seres marinhos são fascinação
Um mundo inteiro
De encanto e sedução
Odoya, Yemanjá mamãe senhora
Rainha serena, o povo te adora
Luz que clareia meu viver
Banhado de axé, vou agradecer
O mar divino espelho do céu
Chora no mundo cruel
Trás lamentos à beira do cais
São cicatrizes que o homem não desfaz
Ouça agora seu clamor
A rede carrega a lembrança, da consciência do pescador
Aventureiros singrando mares marcaram a história
Sinta a Magia, o pulsar do surdo um, pra alcançar a glória
Sigo a correnteza da vitória
Composers: Xandinho Nocera / Fredy Vianna / Bruno Do Jaú / Erasmo Dias / Bira Moreno / Kinho Fernandes / Saulinho / Alê Lopes
