There's a new site dedicated to samba on the internet: at http://www.dosamba.com.br the net surfer can find assorted information. For example, an interview with songwriter Zé Ramos - the only founder of Mangueira's composers group that is still alive, writer of Nasceste de uma Semente, Capital do Samba and Jequitibá - who's turning 88 years old. Or a report on the documentary Imperatriz do Carnaval, by Medeiros Schultz, on the samba school from Ramos (Imperatriz Leopoldinense), current champion of the carnival parade. The section Galeria brings photo exhibits on carnival and there is also a section called Especial, dedicated to the legend Zé Kéti.
