Marcelo Falcão O Legado reaches the south next weekend: the former O Rappa frontman plays Espaço Unimed in São Paulo on Friday, September 18, and Igloo Super Hall in Curitiba on Saturday, September 19, 2026 — tickets via Eventim from R$52.50.
For expats in São Paulo or Curitiba, next weekend offers one of Brazilian rock’s defining voices in two of the south’s best rooms.
Two Nights, Two Cities
The ‘O Legado’ tour routes through Brazil’s southern capitals next weekend: Friday night at São Paulo’s Espaço Unimed, then straight down the highway — or a one-hour flight — for Saturday at Curitiba’s Igloo Super Hall.
The pairing makes a classic Brazilian concert weekend: two major venues, two cities with fierce local rock audiences, and an artist whose catalog both crowds know by heart.
The Voice of O Rappa
Marcelo Falcão spent two decades fronting O Rappa, the Rio band that fused rock, reggae, funk and samba into one of Brazil’s defining sounds — and wrote anthems like ‘Pescador de Ilusões’ and ‘Me Deixa’ that entire generations sing word for word.
His solo career keeps that catalog alive alongside newer material: a Falcão show moves between O Rappa’s communal sing-alongs and the more personal writing of his own records.
The ‘O Legado’ Show
‘O Legado’ — ‘The Legacy’ — is exactly what the title promises: a production built around the inheritance of a singular career, delivered by the man who wrote and sang it the first time.
Expect the big choruses, the reggae-rock swing the band perfected, and a crowd that treats every chorus as a shared memory — Brazilian rock audiences sing, and this catalog gives them reasons.
The Venues: Barra Funda and Tarumã
Espaço Unimed, in São Paulo’s Barra Funda district, is the city’s workhorse concert hall — a mid-size room with strong sound, easy metro access via the Barra Funda hub, and bars that keep the neighborhood busy after the encore.
Curitiba’s Igloo Super Hall sits in Tarumã, a modern box on the city’s north side built for exactly this scale of national tour — plan on ride-hailing, as the area is car-oriented at night.
Tickets via Eventim
Both dates are ticketed through Eventim Brasil: São Paulo lists from R$52.50 for half-price entry up to R$165 for the premium floor, while Curitiba runs roughly R$52.50 to R$195 plus service fees.
Half-price (meia-entrada) rules in Brazil benefit students, seniors and other eligible categories — bring documentation; everyone else should buy early, because floor sections for legacy rock shows move fastest.
What Expats Should Know
This is an ideal first Brazilian rock show: the catalog is melodic, the crowd is multigenerational and warm, and even without Portuguese you will catch the choruses by the second verse.
São Paulo’s Barra Funda is simplest by metro — the show ends late enough that trains may be closing; Curitiba’s venue wants a ride booked in advance. In both cities, September nights are cool: bring a layer.
O Rappa’s Place in Brazilian Rock
O Rappa’s run from the 1990s onward made them the rare Brazilian band that filled both radio and stadiums while keeping social edge in the lyrics — ‘Súplica Cearense’ remains a standard two decades on.
Falcão’s voice carried that catalog, which is why his solo shows draw the band’s full audience: this is not a nostalgia act trading on one hit, but the original singer with the original songbook.
Making a Weekend of It
The Friday-Saturday split invites a two-city trip: São Paulo’s concert Friday, a morning flight to Curitiba, the botanical garden and old town by day, Igloo Super Hall at night.
Both cities sit at altitude enough for cool September evenings — Curitiba famously colder — so the classic Brazilian concert uniform of jeans and a light jacket applies in both venues.
