Saturday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – The epic event Clubbing returns to Leviano in Lapa, bringing a Brazilian legend to the helm. DJ Luiz Pareto returns to Rio, after a long hiatus to rock the floor at one of the best electronic nights in Rio. Joined by local residents and another out of town guest, plus funk and soul downstairs, this second edition could possibly out do the first!
LIVE:
Agridoce (Lapa)
The band Agridoce represents the willingness to venture into different musical universes of work that is already known. Agridoce explores new textures, and new ways of composing with different instruments. It started so unpretentious, and that is something they want to hold onto.
