Paraiso's debut was heralded with press coverage never seen before for Notting Hill Carnival including front pages on the Financial TImes and the Guardian.
"...But it was the Paraiso Samba School which stole the show with its gorgeously plumed costumes, confetti explosions and sheer numbers"
The Guardian
