The Bi-champion up, Flores de Mindelo entered in the Rua de Lisboa with strength, determined to win the tirdh title. With the music of Constantino Cardoso and a very finely tuned choreography, more than 800 extras honored the fishermen in their clothes and allegorical trucks that testify the immense talent of the artists and the artisans from S. Vincent and made Flores de Mindelo a serious contender for the title of best group.

Monte Sossego, who also had several wings and very well composed of people of all ages, showed that entered this carnival ready to ruin the party that flowers do Mindelo want to take to the streets the origins of life and changes of the world. And life was what did not miss the group that sang three songs, two of Constantino Cardoso (ET no Planeta Azul and Brincadeira de Carnaval) and one of Rufino Rodrigues (Temp d’nôs estória).

Sonhos sem Limite, and their tribute to the cinema - oddly enough in an era when Mindelo now doesn't have one movie theaters - should also be taken into account in the title match. Their allegorical trucks, its 600 participants, its choreography and its music, written and composed by Vlú and Constantino Cardoso, reminded the public the good times of Eden Park and Park Miramar and unforgettable characters such as Charlie Chaplin.

The fourth and final competitor was Jovens de Monte Sossego whose theme was the evolution of the island of St. Vincent over the years. With fewer extras and less lavish costumes, show that, despite the talent show, especially through music Vlú must still learn a lot to achieve the level of the most seasoned.

Certainly, next year, it will fail as this year. But Jovens de Monte Sossego were not the only ones to fail. Both Flores de Mindelo, Monte Sossego and Sonhos sem Limite paraded the first time without some extras. Perhaps because, unlike other years, the parade began on time and early (14.30) and it is well known that Cape Verdeans are not used to be in time. Is this will have influence in the attribution of prizes?

Will also be due to the completion of the time that many people lost a big part of the parade. But who came at the right time applauded a lot, each ones with their favorite. Some believe, however, that many people did not leave their home becasue they were scared of some rumors that there would be a bloodbath caused by groups of young delinquents.

The animation groups were only able to show off after the parade group official, because the few gaps between the parade of one official and one block not allowed. Among these groups of animation especially one who remembered the need to be constantly alert to the danger of dengue epedemia.
