Rio Nightlife Guide for Sunday, September 30, 2018
We have the top three picks for this Sunday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.
LIVE:
Ponto Br @ Galpão Ladeira das Artes (Cosme Velho) – This Sunday is the last performance of the “Na Eira” tour in Rio de Janeiro. The supporting act for the night will be the Foli Griô Orchestra
Ponto br is a collective formed by contemporary musicians and masters of traditional culture, who use music to dialogue between generations. Their show “Na Eira” has a unique and timeless sound. The group gathers together some of the masters of traditional Brazilian culture, such as Mestre Walter do Maracatu Estrela Brilhante de Recife, Dona Zezé de Iemanjá, and Ribeira do Bumba Boi de Maracanã, among others.
Foli Griô Orchestra is a group gathered to study the language of Afrobeat, influenced by Fela Kuti, the Nigerian creator of this musical genre. The repertoire of the group includes adaptations of the original songs and creation of arrangements and compositions that develop an identity of their own without losing, of course, the union of the rhythms with a political message, characteristic of Afrobeat.
In the intervals DJ Jada will be keeping the people dancing. Plus, there will be a Capoeira Wheel with the Capoeira Angola School of Mestre Marrom (CM Tatiana).
The house will open at 5PM and tickets are between R$20-R$40
Ponto Br – Rua Conselheiro Lampreia 225 – Cosme Velho
