Wantuir will sing with Paraiso at Notting Hill 2010
Wantuir from Grande Rio, the most talked about puxador in Rio de Janeiro, will sing with us at Notting Hill Carnival 2010. He will join Mestre Esteves, also over here from Rio, who is polishing up the Paraiso Bateria for sensational live music on the streets of Notting Hill. Look out for Paraiso's most spectacular carnival parade created by our carnavalesco, Henrique.
