Primeiro domingo de março · Banda Mantiqueira brings jazz brasileiro to Blue Note SP, Ocupação FERVO takes the Porão at Casa de Francisca, and Oda Cairu launches Flor do Mangal at Bona
01 Tonight’s Vibe Menu
The first Sunday of March. A cold front still lingers — 16°C at dawn, highs around 23°C, sun through variable cloud, no rain expected — and the city eases into a Sunday built for long lunches and early-evening sets. At the Blue Note São Paulo, the Banda Mantiqueira plays “Jazz Brasileiro” at 7 pm — one of the country’s most celebrated jazz big bands, nearly three decades of horn-driven arrangements that cross samba, choro, and hard bop. Earlier at the same address, the free Brunch Music runs from 10 am to 5 pm. At Casa de Francisca, the day unfolds in two layers: Batuqueiros e sua Gente play Almoço & Música in the Salão (noon and 3 pm seatings), while the Porão hosts Ocupação FERVO — Sambrass, SafaBeats, and DJ Pio Figueiroa from 5 pm, first 100 free. At Bona Casa de Música in Sumaré, Oda Cairu launches her debut album “Flor do Mangal” at 8 pm — twelve tracks of MPB contemporânea featuring Linn da Quebrada. At Ó do Borogodó, Sunday means samba de raiz from 4 pm to 9 pm. And at D-Edge, the SuperAfter rolls from the small hours until noon for those who danced through Saturday night. Tomorrow: Chico Buarque por Rodrigo Vellozo at Blue Note SP.

1 Banda Mantiqueira — Jazz Brasileiro · Blue Note São Paulo
When Sun · 7 pm Where Av. Paulista, 2073 – 2º andar Tickets Eventim / bluenotesp.com
Jazz brasileiro
Founded in 1991 by clarinetist and arranger Nailor Azevedo “Proveta” alongside trumpeter Walmir Gil, the Banda Mantiqueira is one of Brazil’s premier jazz big bands — an all-star ensemble of São Paulo’s finest horn players and percussionists who blend hard bop with samba, choro, baião, and maracatu. Their debut album “Aldeia” earned a Latin Grammy nomination, and across seven albums they have collaborated with Guinga, Eduardo Gudin, Wynton Marsalis, and Romero Lubambo. Tonight’s “Jazz Brasileiro” show is an expansive set drawing from over three decades of repertoire. The Blue Note’s intimate room on top of the Conjunto Nacional delivers one of the best acoustics in the city. Doors at 6 pm; the free Brunch Music runs earlier from 10 am to 5 pm. 18+. Metro Consolação.
2 Ocupação FERVO — SafaBeats + Sambrass + Pio Figueiroa · Casa de Francisca
When Sun · shows 5 pm & 7 pm Where R. Quintino Bocaiúva, 22 – Sé Tickets First 100 free / casadefrancisca.art.br
Samba · Carnaval energy
The Porão at Casa de Francisca fills with Carnaval energy for the Ocupação FERVO — a roving party collective from the Água Branca neighbourhood that brings the spirit of the blocos indoors. Sambrass opens with a fanfare-powered samba roda, then SafaBeats takes over with pop brasileiro, brega, and piseiro remixed for the dance floor. DJ Pio Figueiroa from Pernambuco stitches everything together. Porão opens at 4 pm, shows at 5 pm and 7 pm, ends by 9 pm. First 100 arrivals are free — distribution starts at 2 pm at the box office. Upstairs in the Salão, the Batuqueiros e sua Gente play two Almoço & Música seatings (noon and 3 pm) — the group won the Prêmio Profissionais da Música for best samba album. APCA-winning venue since 2006. Metro Sé or São Bento, five-minute walk.
3 Oda Cairu — Flor do Mangal · Bona Casa de Música
When Sun · 8 pm Where R. Dr. Paulo Vieira, 101 – Sumaré Tickets Eventim / bona.art.br
MPB contemporânea
Oda Cairu launches “Flor do Mangal,” her debut studio album released in January 2026 on Sony Music via the Edital PetraZuca — Cervejaria Petra and Casa da Música Brasileira. Twelve tracks that navigate MPB contemporânea with guest appearances from Linn da Quebrada, Dandá Costa, Afrodida, and fitti. The Bona is a curated 120-capacity room in Sumaré with sound designed for proximity between artist and audience — one of the most respected independent venues in the city since its 2015 founding in Pinheiros and 2023 relocation. Expect an intimate performance. Near Metro Vila Madalena. Ages 16+ (minors with guardians). Card, PIX, no vouchers.
4 Ó do Borogodó — Sunday Samba Session
When Sun · 4 pm – 9 pm Where R. Horácio Lane, 21 – Pinheiros Cover ~R$15–25
Samba de raiz
Founded in 2001 by siblings Leonardo and Stefânia Gola Piacentini, the Ó do Borogodó is São Paulo’s gold standard for samba de raiz. Sunday is the mellow session — 4 pm to 9 pm, earlier and gentler than the raucous weeknight rodas that run past 3 am. The tiny room on Horácio Lane, backing onto the Pinheiros cemetery wall, fills fast with a cross-generational crowd of students, regulars, and visitors who come for the live partido-alto, choro, and batuque. Order at the bar — sardine sandwiches, sausage, and ice-cold Serramalte. Arrive by 4:30 if you want a table. Cash or PIX. Metro Faria Lima, ten-minute walk south.
5 D-Edge SuperAfter — Anderson Noise
When Sun · from 5 am Where Av. Mário de Andrade, 141 Tickets d-edge.com.br
Electronic
The SuperAfter is D-Edge’s Sunday-morning institution — the Saturday NAVE party bleeds into daylight with a fresh lineup that typically runs from 5 am until noon. Anderson Noise, a veteran of the Brazilian electronic scene and a regular on the D-Edge rotation, headlines today. The rooftop terrace overlooking the Memorial da América Latina catches the morning sun, and the club’s award-winning LED-wrapped dance floors keep the energy tight even after sunrise. Bring sunglasses. The D-Edge Festival 2026 (D26) is announced for April 2 at Komplexo Tempo — Carl Craig b2b Moodymann, KiNK, Marky & Friends. Metro Palmeiras-Barra Funda, one block.
