Wednesday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Tonight you can feel the love in Botafogo at Casa da Matriz for Karaokê Indie’s special edition to celebrate Brazilian Valentine’s Day. Singing karaokê is always fun, but never as much fun as when done with the one you love. Tonight will feature a handful of drink specials and a great musical selection of romantic tracks. The house will be decorated with balloons, party poppers and rose petals. Romantic lollipops will also be distributed all night for couples and singles alike.
The idea tonight is to bring couples on stage for memorable duets. There will be a special box available for comments or messages you may have for someone who catches your eye during the night. The messages might be read on the sound system, so mean what you say!!
