Goddess of Carnival Viviane Araujo´s name was linked to the Brazilian Carnival s soon as she reached Brazil ´s media lime lights. Viviane always loved Samba and started parading when she was very young in Rio´s Sambadrome, at the age of 18. As a true samba dancer Viviane, Araujo had her first chance as a true Drum Queen at Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel Samba School in 2005, where she paraded for several years.

In 2008, Araujo, Viviane paraded as Drum Queen for two Samba Schools: Salgueiro Samba School in Rio and Mancha Verde in São Paulo. Viviane Araujo 2010 will repeat this success recipe in these disputed samba parade posts. Viviane Araújo is considered one of the best samba dancers amongst all Drum Queens.
