Die Erschaffung musikalischer Werke ist ein Mysterium: Dem kreativen Funken und magischen Augenblick der zündenden Idee und künstlerischen Inspiration haftet bis zum heutigen Tag ein Black-Box-Charakter an, welcher der Forschung Rätsel aufgibt. Im Fokus der Studie steht der Samba-Enredo, das pulsierende musikalische Herz des Karnevals der Sambaschulen von Rio de Janeiro. Sind die Entscheidungen der Komponisten auch an eine Palette externer Vorgaben, stilistischer Charakteristika und Traditionen gebunden, die im Kollektiv der Musiker und Poeten mündlich von einer Generation an die nächste weitergegeben werden und den Rahmen für die Komposition der berühmten Sambas de Enredo legen, so besteht doch ein gewisser Spielraum für die Kreation von unvergesslichen Melodien und Lyrics. Auf einer Reise zur musikalischen Essenz des Sambas de Enredo entschlüsseln sich die Spannungsgefüge der Komponisten zwischen Tradition und Moderne und die zentralen Komponenten, die sich in den Sessions zu einer der brillanten Kompositionen vereinen, die Jury und Zuschauer im Desfile der Sambaschulen in emotionale Ausnahmezustände versetzen.
