Os Incríveis — Netinho comemora 80 anos at Blue Note SP 7 pm · Brunch Music 10 am–5 pm · Ó do Borogodó Sunday matinée 4–9 pm · Casa de Francisca Largo from noon · Paulista Aberta 10h–18h · The week’s gentlest close
01 Tonight’s Vibe Menu
Sunday is when the São Paulo nightlife week shifts to daytime — and tonight the Blue Note SP closes the day with one of the most evocative tributes of the April programme. Os Incríveis — Netinho comemora 80 anos plays a single Sunday session at 7 pm. Os Incríveis, formed in São Paulo in 1962, were one of Brazil’s defining 1960s rock-and-pop bands — anchors of the Jovem Guarda movement alongside Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos, with hits like “Era um Garoto Que, Como Eu, Amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones,” “O Milionário,” “Vendedor de Bananas,” and “Eu Te Amo, Meu Brasil.” Netinho — Luiz Franco Thomaz, drummer and the only surviving member of the original lineup — turned 80 on April 5. Tonight is the celebration. Earlier in the day, Brunch Music on the Conjunto Nacional terrace runs 10 am to 5 pm with live music, the buffet at R$116, and free entry to the venue. In Pinheiros, Ó do Borogodó runs its Sunday matinée from 4 pm to 9 pm — afternoon samba in natural light, the gentlest version of the room. Paulista Aberta closes Avenida Paulista to cars from 10h to 18h — the city’s best Sunday morning circuit. Clear skies, 29 °C, 5 % rain — a comfortable autumn Sunday. Tomorrow is the only night of the week the city goes fully dark.

03 Full Rundown
Blue Note SP — Os Incríveis “Netinho comemora 80 anos”
Paulista · Jovem Guarda · Rock · Eventim
The full Sunday cycle on Av. Paulista. Brunch Music from 10 am — live bossa nova on the Conjunto Nacional terrace, the buffet at R$116, free entry to the venue. The terrace closes at 5 pm. The single seated session at 7 pm: Os Incríveis celebrating Netinho’s 80th birthday. Netinho — Luiz Franco Thomaz, born in Santos on 5 April 1946 — joined The Clevers in 1962, the band that became Os Incríveis in 1965 after a contractual break with their first manager. Through the late 1960s and early 1970s, the band defined Brazilian rock-and-pop alongside Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos in the Jovem Guarda movement, with international hits, a film (“Os Incríveis Neste Mundo Louco,” 1966), and a TV programme. Netinho is the only surviving member of the original lineup. Tonight’s tribute brings the catalogue back to the Av. Paulista room. Single Sunday session.
Sun brunch 10 am–5 pm · Show 7 pm · Av. Paulista, 2073 — Conjunto Nacional, 2º andar · Eventim
Ó do Borogodó — Sunday Matinée
Pinheiros · Samba de Raiz · Choro · Daylight
Sunday at the Borogodó is the gentlest version of the bar — five hours of afternoon samba and choro from 4 pm to 9 pm, the room on Rua Horácio Lane at its most relaxed. The same musicians who pack the Friday and Saturday peaks return on Sunday afternoon, but the Sunday crowd is mellower: families, couples, and samba devotees who come for the music rather than the scene. Cover around R$20, cash or PIX. Order at the bar. Arrive by 4:30 pm if you want a table. The 9 pm close is by design — the matinée pairs with a Pinheiros dinner on Mourato Coelho or a metro ride to the Blue Note for the 7 pm session.
Sun 4 pm–9 pm · ~R$20 · R. Horácio Lane, 21 — Pinheiros · @odoborogodobar
Casa de Francisca — Largo Sunday
Sé · Terrace · Vinyl · Free
Sunday at the Casa is Largo-only. The outdoor terrace bar at the Palacete Teresa opens noon to 7 pm with vinyl DJs, drinks, and free entry — the casual atmosphere that makes the Casa one of São Paulo’s most celebrated cultural spaces. The Salão (seated main room) and Porão (basement) are dark on Sundays — the Largo carries the day. The natural pre-Borogodó or pre-Blue Note stop: drinks in the Sé sunshine before the metro ride. Check casadefrancisca.art.br for tonight’s vinyl curators.
Sun noon–7 pm · Free · R. Quintino Bocaiúva, 22 — Sé · Metro Sé (Line 1-Blue)
Bar Brahma Centro — Live Samba Daily
Centro · Samba · Art Deco · Since 1948
The constant. Bar Brahma at the corner of São João and Ipiranga — the art deco botequim that has run since 1948, with live samba seven days a week, cold chopp, and the paulistano atmosphere that operates regardless of the day. Sunday is a quieter Brahma than the Friday peak, but the kitchen and the samba run on. The Centro anchor at its most contemplative.
Sun 11 am–1 am · Av. São João, 677 — Centro · Metro República
Rabo di Galo — The Civilised Close
Cerqueira César · Cocktails · Rosewood · Nightly
The Rabo di Galo at the Rosewood São Paulo opens nightly from 7 pm — cocktails, intimate lighting, the civilised close to a Sunday that asks nothing of you. After the Blue Note tribute, the Borogodó matinée, or simply a walk on Paulista Aberta, the Rabo di Galo closes the evening at the right volume. Reservations recommended.
Sun from 7 pm · Rosewood São Paulo, R. Haddock Lobo, 1571 — Cerqueira César · Metro Consolação
