Abstract The samba schools in the Brazilian carnival go beyond the 12 known interna-tionally of the Special Group of Rio de Janeiro. The present article proposes an immersion in the universe of the samba schools occupying the last divisions of the carnival of the city of Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas in the north of Brazil. Through this look we will seek the elementary of the carnival associations at the threshold of their existence. Consequently, parallels between cases ethnographed in Rio de Janeiro will serve as a support of reflection to the liminal character in the competitive universe of carnival.
