MOCIDADE EXALTAÇÃO

This exaltation song is the spiritual anthem of Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel. It celebrates the school's "Guiding Star" (Estrela Guia), its green and white colors, and the fierce pride of the Padre Miguel neighborhood. The lyrics are a call for the community to unite and for the world to recognize the school's unique "swing." 

The song emphasizes the legendary status of the school's "Bateria" (drum line), often called "Não Existe Mais Quente" (There is none hotter), and its tradition of innovation. It is an invitation to the party, reinforcing the idea that the school's energy is a divine gift that illuminates the hearts of its supporters. 

Like all great exaltação songs, it is performed to energize the school before it enters the avenue and during all community rehearsals. It serves as a powerful reminder of the school's identity as an "independent" and innovative force in the world of samba, forever guided by its bright star. 

Trivia: The song was written by the legendary Brazilian composer Billy Blanco, who was known for his sophisticated lyrics and his deep connection to the urban culture of Rio.
