LIVE:
Canta Canta Minha Gente @ Rio Scenarium (Lapa) – A ‘roda da samba’ (samba circle) among friends, a tasty snack and a very cold bottle of beer! This is the proposal of ‘Boteco Scenarium,’ a meeting between lovers of music and Rio’s bohemia.

Every Tuesday in February, Raoni and Dandara, grandchildren of Martinho da Vila, pay homage to eighty years of their grandfather’s music, with the show ‘Canta, canta, minha gente.’ In this show, the grandchildren of the musician take the audience on a journey through the work of the singer and composer, singing some of the songs that made their grandfather’s name, including ‘Disritmia,’ ‘Ex-amor,’ ‘Casa de Bamba,’ ‘Madalena,’ among others.

Tickets are between R$20-R$35 and the doors open at 7PM.
