Synopsis: The charming Rio football is the highlight of this book, which is set to the rhythm of the popular anthems of the 4 big clubs in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Which are eternal musical works, which immortalized the fabulous talent of Lamartine Babo, the king of Rio carnivals. Even though the majority of these Rio clubs already have their anthems in their respective statutes, master Lamartine Babo s compositions became so popular that they officially became the true anthems of Fluminense, Flamengo, Vasco da Gama and Botafogo. It is worth highlighting the founding date of these Rio clubs that are rowing and heading towards the celebration of their bicentenary: Flamengo founded on November 17, 1895; Botafogo founded on July 1, 1894; Fluminense founded on July 21, 1902; Vasco da Gama founded on August 21, 1898.
