Isabelle x Marciele: ex-BBBs face each other at Bumbódromo; see history
The former BBBs, Isabelle Nogueira, 34, and Marciele Albuquerque, 32, experience the dispute between the two bois-bumbás of the Parintins Festival, Garantido and Caprichoso. The two represent the northern culture of Parintins and see the rivalry as something destined only for the Bumbódromo arena.
In the past, Isabelle has already stated that it is necessary to join forces and voice to break a main barrier against machismo. In addition to going against the idea of rivalry outside the festival, they prefer to focus on the support of each fan base.
Understand how the dispute between the two works at the Parintins Festival:
During the cunhã-poranga presentation, the judges evaluate points such as friendliness, resourcefulness, grace and incorporation. They set a note for the woman who is representing the indigenous warrior who expresses her strength through beauty each night.
It is worth remembering that the festival has three nights, each with specific presentations. And the cunhã-poranga represents the most beautiful girl in the village, being inserted into the performance as a warrior and guardian.
In this way, the judges evaluate sympathy and resourcefulness, defining the scores according to the indigenous warrior who best expresses her strength through beauty.
History of the Parintins Festival
This year, Caprichoso, with 31 titles, is looking for another achievement after having been champion in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Garantido, with 26 titles, had its last victory in 2025.
Caprichoso comes with the theme "Toy that Sings Your Floor". Garantido takes the theme "Parintins: Portal of Enchantment" to the Bumbódromo.
Isabelle x Marciele
The two cunhãs-poranga have already faced each other a few times. In 2018, Isabelle got the better of Caprichoso's cunhã (90.0 x 89.9), who did better in the scores in 2019 (89.5 to 89.9). In the following two festivals, both received the same scores: 90 in 2022 and 89.8 in 2023.
The tie also continued to 2024, when the two scored 99.9. Last year, the technical tie between the two's scores was 89.6.
