The Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Samba São Clemente is a samba school from Rio de Janeiro, located in the Cidade Nova neighborhood, on Avenida Presidente Vargas.
[1] The school became famous over the years for plots regarded as full of good humor, and sarcastic criticism of the most diverse themes.
[2] The constant oscillation between the main groups of carnival brought it the nickname of "yo-yo" school.
[citation needed] In the current decade, however, the school has been trying to print a new style to make carnival.
With the fire of Cidade do Samba, the school succeeded to stay in the Special Group, doing some good fashion and betting on the old with the new, with Fábio Ricardo and with Rosa Magalhães.
