It’s open to all nationalities and languages and you can talk about anything you like. You don´t have to be an advanced speaker, or even speak a second language – its for all levels!’

Pra Gira Girar @ Teatro Ipanema (Ipanema) – This evening there is also a celebration of the music of ‘Os Tincoãs,’ a Bahian group from the sixties and seventies who were famous for bringing an African influence to Brazilian pop music.
Alan de Deus, Alvaro Lancellotti, Michele Leal and Zé Manoel have immersed themselves in the music of Os Tincoãs, reconstructing vocal arrangements of great beauty. They are joined by Pedro Costa on guitar, who rearranged the music for each of the songs, while Diogo Gomes will play trumpet and Ana Magalhães and Zero Telles are to provide the percussion. Together, they will present re-imagined songs from the group’s four albums for a celebration of both the past and the present.
Tickets are between R$10-R$20 and the show is set to begin at 9PM.
