Rio Nightlife Guide for Tuesday, April 2, 2019
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.
PARTY:
Funk Moon @ Pub Kriok (Lapa) – This is the international party that happens every Tuesday in Rio’s nightlife district of Lapa. Prepare for black light, glitter and face paint, plus free entry and a caipirinha open bar until midnight.
On the decks tonight will be DJ Gabriel Velmont and DJ XKbox pumping out the best carioca funk, indie, pop, electro, hip-hop and much more.
The party starts at 11PM and entry is free until midnight.
Funk Moon – Av. Mem de Sá 65 – Lapa

LIVE:
O Quarteto Geral @ CoLAB (Botafogo) – Every week, CoLAB opens its nightly programming by getting some of the best musicians in Rio’s instrumental jazz scene to perform live at their space. This Tuesday, O Quarteto Geral are bringing their sound to the space. The group takes its starting point from the work of the influential instrumental group from the late sixties, Novo Quarteto.
The members of O Quarteto Geral, coming from different musical backgrounds, come together in this project with the intention of providing a careful look at the music of Brazil’s North-east. They reinterpret, with a contemporary vision, classical pieces of the armorial movement, such as Mourão (César Guerra-Peixe), Mulher Rendeira (Zé do Norte), combining the sounds of viola, flutes, pipes, guitar and zabumba.
This should be a great free night, starting at around 8PM, for those interested in jazz, the musical heritage of Brazil, or both.
O Quarteto Geral – Rua Fernandes Guimarães, 66 – Botafogo

PARTY:
Festa Bem Brasil @ Barzin (Ipanema) – The most traditional ‘carioca’ party on a Tuesday brings live samba with the biggest hits from around the world in a party for those who still want to live up the weekend.
Marcelo Cebukin will be playing live saxophone, while DJ Haron Dufau will be spinning an eclectic set of hip hop, house, reggaeton and funk.
Tickets are between R$40-R$50 and there are double caipirinhas on offer until 1AM. The evening begins 11PM and won’t finish until 4:30 AM. This is the perfect place to keep the weekend spirit going well into the week.
