We have the top three picks for this Tuesday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.
LIVE:
Aos Novos Compositores @ Beco do Rato (Lapa) – This cultural project for new composers is an evening where sambistas can present previously unpublished work of their own. This is an exciting evening of live music from some of the best young samba composers in the city.
It takes place twice per month, always on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. And the event aims to support the local samba music scene by showing works by composers who are not (yet) big samba stars.
The event is free entry and it usually begins at 8PM.
Aos Novos Compositores – Rua Joaquim Silva – Lapa

PARTY:

There will, of course, be all the usual deals, such as free pizza, two-for-one on Jagermeister, promotions on Heineken, plus a caipifruta open bar from 11:30PM to 12:30AM.

The conversation is interspersed with songs from the invited artist’s back catalogue. This month it is the turn of Martinho da Vila, one of the most prolific and influential samba and MPB composers. In the conversation of “Cria”, he will open up about his methods of composition, his background and influences, as well as his partnership with samba school Vila Isabel – all illustrated with songs, in an evening which is bound to delight both fans and newcomers alike.
