São Paulo Nightlife Guide for Wednesday, April 10, 2019

We have the top three picks for this Wednesday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.
MÚSICA BRASILEIRA:
Mestrinho canta Dominguinhos (Centro) – One of the most promising names in the Brazilian popular music scene, Mestrinho will perform tonight at the classy Casa de Francisca.
A talented accordion player, Mestrinho will be paying a tribute to Dominguinhos, one of Brazil’s true accordion masters – or “sanfoneiro” – from the Northeast.
An accordion player since he was 6, Mestrinho has performed with renowned Brazilian artists Elba Ramalho and Gilberto Gil.
Casa de Francisca – Rua Quintino Bocaiúva, 22, Sé (next to Sé metrô station).
Check the event for further details.
PARTY:
Karaokê Happy Hour (Centro) – An iconic venue from São Paulo’s 1949 modernist architecture, the Tokyo building will be hosting its traditional karaoke night this Wednesday.
This karaoke night will be specially dedicated to Madonna’s songs, and the first thirty who participate in the karaoke’s collective session get a Heineken for free.
The karaoke happens on the 6th and 7th floors, and a DJ will be spinning on the 9th floor all night long.
Tokyo – Rua Major Sertório, 110, Centro (next to República metrô station).
Check the event for further details.
PARTY:
Pancadão, Funk Carioca, Ostentação e Melody (Consolação) – Selva will be blasting the very best of Brazilian funk tonight from the heart of Rua Augusta.
Party goers will be taken on a journey through all the types of Carioca funk, including melody, “proibidão” (the “dirty” type), “ostentação,” and 150 Bpm hits, in addition to listening to pop and hip hop hits.
