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:
Xote do Teles (Centro) – Arco do Telos is one of the most historical nightlife areas in the city, and tonight there will be a performance by Cordel Negro. Cordel Negro are a band of musicians who are intent on creating a new sound, descended from the African rhythms and traditional melodies of Brazil’s past, but also brought right up to date.
This free event will trace the roots of Brazilian music with songs that journey through varying genres such as samba, choro, forró and carimbó. Things should get started at around 9PM. For those who want to learn a bit of forró dancing, there will be a class open at 8PM with the instructor João Gabriel Caldeira Pires from the group Forró New Roots.
The drinks offers for the night are a bucket of five Devassa Puro Malte for R$40, and Antártica and Brahma at R$10 per bottle. The organizers suggest the following voluntary contributions in order to keep this night sustainable: R$5 minimum, R$10 fair, and R$20 for those who are feeling generous.
