São Paulo Nightlife Guide for Saturday, June 6, 2026
Key Points
- Cordas & Voz – Lazzo Matumbi e Mário Ulloa convidam Adriano Grineberg at Blue Note SP (Consolação, Av. Paulista 2073), single session 20h, Eventim disponível — Bahian singer with 45 years of career presents voice-and-guitar with UFBA professor Mário Ulloa. The intimate format of Black Bahian music. Not a tribute — original-artist booking.
- Renato Braz at Bona (Sumaré, R. Dr. Paulo Vieira 101), 21h, Eventim — São Paulo MPB singer and percussionist, double Prêmio Visa winner (2002 and 2003). Performed with Luiz Melodia, Ney Matogrosso and Antônio Nóbrega.
- Canções de Liberdade – Saulo Duarte canta Bob Marley at Blue Note SP, 22h30, Eventim disponível. Honest framing: a tribute/homenagem to Bob Marley’s catalogue. Second session in the same salão.
- D-Edge runs Nave (Barra Funda, R. Olga 170) from 23h — the Saturday electronic residency, the club’s busiest and loudest night of the week.
- Weather is 22°C and 10% rain — a clean Saturday. Both Blue Note SP 20h and Bona 21h sessions start close together; the two picks are simultaneous. Choose one.
- Tomorrow Sunday June 7: São Paulo Gay Pride Parade (Parada do Orgulho LGBT+) from 11h30 on Av. Paulista, one of the largest in the world. Jônatas Belgrande – “Tá Escrito em MPB” at Bona 20h. Guitar Pool Brasil finale broadcasts on YouTube today — the Blue Note SP final from last Sunday.
- Saturday is MEDIUM confidence: two genuine original-artist bookings, a Bob Marley tribute, D-Edge Nave — and across the bridge, Global Citizen Live in Rio is incomparable. SP holds a strong programme in its own right tonight.
Tonight in São Paulo
Saturday June 6 runs two simultaneous original-artist shows. Blue Note SP: Lazzo Matumbi and Mário Ulloa present “Cordas & Voz” — 45 years of Black Bahian music, voice and solo guitar, Adriano Grineberg as guest. Bona: Renato Braz, double Prêmio Visa winner, at 21h in the 120-cap room.
Both shows run simultaneously — Av. Paulista and Sumaré, 15 minutes apart by Uber. Blue Note SP 22h30 follows with a Bob Marley tribute; D-Edge Nave opens at 23h. Weather: 22°C, 10% rain — a clean São Paulo Saturday.
Three picks: Cordas & Voz at Blue Note SP (20h, Eventim) for the Bahian voice-and-guitar booking; Renato Braz at Bona (21h, Eventim) for the MPB intimate pick; D-Edge Nave (Barra Funda, from 23h) for the Saturday electronic floor.
Av. Paulista or Sumaré — tonight’s choice. Cordas & Voz is the stronger booking: Lazzo Matumbi rarely in this intimate format, Mário Ulloa’s guitar a restraint that rewards close listening. Renato Braz at Bona is right if the 120-cap room suits you better. Choose by venue size.
01
Top Picks Tonight
Cordas & Voz — Lazzo Matumbi e Mário Ulloa convidam Adriano Grineberg · Blue Note SP
Lazzo Matumbi — central figure of Black Bahian music, 45-year career. Composed “Alegria da cidade” (Margareth Menezes, 1988); Prêmio da Música Brasileira 2018 and 2024. Mário Ulloa, UFBA full professor, adapts Lazzo’s repertoire for solo guitar — harmonies, rhythms and polyphonies in dialogue with the voice.
Single session at 20h, access from 19h. Adriano Grineberg joins as special guest. Buy on Eventim; Porto Bank discount applies.
Renato Braz · Bona
Renato Braz is a São Paulo-born singer and percussionist — nationally recognised alongside Luiz Melodia, Ney Matogrosso and Antônio Nóbrega. “Outro Quilombo” (2002) won Prêmio Visa “Edição Vocal”; “Quixote” won “Melhor Cantor” in 2003. Discography includes “Silêncio – Um Tributo a João Gilberto” (2014) and “Mar Aberto” (2016).
The 120-cap Bona room is the right scale for Renato Braz’s interpretive style — the intimate format that suits the MPB vocal tradition. Buy on Eventim before going; no walk-up on show nights. Bona bar and kitchen open from 18h.
D-Edge — Nave
Nave is D-Edge’s Saturday residency — the club’s busiest, loudest, fullest night of the week, with an electronic set spanning house, techno and club music through the Muti Randolph sound system. Saturday queue from 00h; arrive after 23h for the right energy and before the peak to get terrace space.
The natural extension if Blue Note SP or Bona ends at 22h30 and you want to keep going. Barra Funda is 15 minutes by Uber from Conjunto Nacional or Sumaré. Sympla or on the door.

Plan B
If all three picks don’t fit, Casa de Francisca (R. Quintino Bocaiúva 22, Centro) runs its Saturday programme — check Sympla for tonight’s artist. The Baixo Augusta strip runs all night. Bona stays open as a bar and kitchen from 18h regardless of show status.
Across the bridge, Rio de Janeiro has Global Citizen Live at Enseada de Botafogo — Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Ludmilla, gates 14h (pre-claimed ticket only). SP has no equivalent tonight. Rio wins the night; SP holds a genuine independent programme in its own right with Lazzo Matumbi and Renato Braz.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Lazzo Matumbi and what is Cordas & Voz?
Lazzo Matumbi is a Bahian singer, composer and activist with over 45 years of career — one of the central figures of Black Bahian music and a key diffuser of samba reggae in Brazil since the 1980s. He composed “Alegria da cidade”, launched nationally by Margareth Menezes in 1988 and one of the decade’s defining songs, and “Do jeito que seu nego gosta” and “14 de maio”. He performed at the Prêmio da Música Brasileira — the country’s most important music prize — in 2018 alongside Iza and Liniker, and again in 2024 singing “Gostava Tanto de Você” with Criolo and Jota.Pê. Cordas & Voz is the intimate format that pairs his voice with Mário Ulloa’s solo guitar — Ulloa, a full professor at UFBA’s School of Music and an international concert performer, adapts Lazzo’s samba reggae, ijexá and soul repertoire entirely for solo guitar. Tonight Blue Note SP also features Adriano Grineberg as special guest in the same session.
Who is Renato Braz and what does he present at Bona?
Renato Braz is a São Paulo-born singer and percussionist who built a career alongside some of the most important figures in Brazilian music — Luiz Melodia, Ney Matogrosso and Antônio Nóbrega. His album “Outro Quilombo” (2002), a collection of interpretations of songs by Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, won the Prêmio Visa “Edição Vocal de 2002”. He won again in 2003 with “Quixote” in the “Melhor Cantor” category. His later work includes “Silêncio – Um Tributo a João Gilberto” (2014) and “Mar Aberto” (2016). The Bona format — 120 caps, intimate acoustics, no amplification barrier between singer and audience — is the right room for this voice and this repertoire.
Can I do both Cordas & Voz at Blue Note SP and Renato Braz at Bona on the same night?
Yes, but not both from the start. Cordas & Voz is a single session starting at 20h and running to around 22h. Renato Braz starts at 21h and runs to around 23h. You can attend Cordas & Voz at Blue Note SP from 20h, leave around 21h30 (missing the last 30 minutes), and Uber to Bona in Sumaré to catch the second half of Renato Braz from 22h. The two venues are about 3km and 10 minutes apart. Alternatively: go to Renato Braz at 21h for the full show and book the 22h30 Blue Note SP session for Canções de Liberdade – Saulo Duarte canta Bob Marley if that interests you.
