We have the top three picks for this Saturday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.
LIVE:
Samba do Teles @ Arco do Teles (Centro) – It’s samba on the street, with live music, an improvised dancefloor, great Djs in the intervals, and it’s free! It can only be Samba do Teles.
On Saturday, October 27th, there will be one of the most popular samba groups in the entire city: Samba Que Ela Querem, a group organized by women musicians that aim to give a voice that represents the great females of samba. Even better still, after the samba, there will be live forró with the band Forró Maravilhas and Baile do Teles, with DJ Nicolle Neumann, making sure that no-one will want to leave until the morning light.
This is a free event, but the organizers ask that those attending to help keep this project going by helping with the voluntary contribution to the musicians’ hat and also by consuming at the bar of the event which offers affordable and promotional prices. It usually gets going at around 7PM.
