Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Samba Acadêmicos do Salgueiro, popularly known simply as Salgueiro, is a popular samba school from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
History
It was established on March 5, 1953 from the merger of Morro do Salgueiro's two samba schools called Azul e Branco do Salgueiro (Salgueiro's Blue and White) and Depois Eu Digo (I'll Say it Later), which then merged again with Unidos do Salgueiro. It first paraded in 1954 with the Romaria à Bahia samba. The school's motto is "Not better, nor worse, just a different school".
GRES Acadêmicos do Salgueiro is a nine-time champion of the Rio de Janeiro carnival, having won in 1960, 1963, 1965, 1969, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1993 and 2009. Its most famous sambas are "Festa Para Um Rei Negro" (Pega No Ganzê), "Bahia de Todos os Deuses", "Peguei Um Ita no Norte", "Explode Coração", "Chica da Silva", "Skindô! Skindô!" and "Tambor" (Drums).
The samba of 2019 in the Arquibancada of the Sambódromo took the musical and poetical heritage of the afro-brazilian roots as its principal issue. For their presentation for Carnival at the Sapucai, Salgueiro selected the orixá "Xango" as their theme (enredo) of 2019 and "Gaia - a vida em nossas mãos" in 2014.
In 2018, Kamilla Carvalho became the first transgender woman muse when Regina Celi, head of the school, invited her to dance. right|thumb|250px|The Salgueiro Parade of 1955.
