Key Points
- Lúcio Maia launches his self-titled second album at Bona (Sumaré, R. Dr. Paulo Vieira 101), 20h, Eventim — the Nação Zumbi guitarist presents 8 instrumental tracks in trio format with Arquétipo Rafa (drums) and Marco Gerez (bass). The prior SESC Avenida Paulista show was sold out.

- Blue Note SP is dark tonight. Casa de Francisca is dark on Tuesdays. D-Edge has no Tuesday residency. Bona is the only programmed show in the city.

Tonight in São Paulo
Tuesday June 2 is a one-show night — and it is worth it. Lúcio Maia launches his second album at Bona at 20h, 8 instrumental tracks in trio format.
Blue Note SP, Casa de Francisca and D-Edge are dark. Bona’s 120-cap room and 10% rain: tonight’s two assets.
Lúcio Maia spent 30 years as Nação Zumbi’s guitarist before leaving in 2022. The new album crosses psychedelic guitar with futurism, baião and reggae — a distinct artistic statement, not a Nação Zumbi extension.
The prior SESC Paulista show sold out.
One pick defines the night. Lúcio Maia at Bona (Sumaré, R.
Dr. Paulo Vieira 101, 20h, Eventim) — the only programmed show in the city, the right artist in the right room.
Lúcio Maia at Bona is tonight’s only option — and a good one. Nação Zumbi for 30 years, then a pivot into psychedelia: Bona’s 120-cap room is the right frame.
Buy on Eventim; prior SESC show sold out. If gone, Bona is open as a bar from 18h.
01
Top Picks Tonight
Lúcio Maia — Lançamento do Álbum “Lúcio Maia” · Bona
Lúcio Maia was Nação Zumbi’s guitarist from 1992 to 2022 — 30 years with the Recife band that co-founded manguebeat with Chico Science. His second solo album “Lúcio Maia” (April 2026, Opium/ForMusic Records) mixes psychedelic guitar with futurism, baião, reggae and electronic textures.
Tonight’s trio format brings Arquétipo Rafa (drums) and Marco Gerez (bass) — the same musicians who recorded the album. The set includes “Cogumelo de Vidro”, “Qítara”, “Fetish Motel” and “Tábua das Horas”.
The 120-cap Bona room is the right scale. Buy on Eventim; the prior SESC Paulista show sold out.
Bona Casa de Música — Bar
If the Lúcio Maia show is sold out, Bona is still open as a restaurant and bar from 18h — the 120-cap room and kitchen run to 1h without a concert commitment. The right Sumaré dinner option before or after a decision on tickets.
Tomorrow the same room books Pablo Moura with Bruna Caram at 20h — check Eventim tonight for the Wednesday ticket if Tuesday is sold out. Elo cardholders get 20% off all Bona visits.
Baixo Augusta — Bar Strip
R. Augusta south of Paulista through Bela Vista runs seven nights — the bar corridor between Consolação and Paraíso metro stations with no ticketed commitment.
Tuesday brings a quieter, more local crowd than the weekend.
The right fallback if Bona is sold out and you want an evening out on one of the cleanest nights of the week. 10% rain, 21°C: the walk along Baixo Augusta is the most comfortable it has been all week.
02
Suggested Routes
- Anchor route Bona for Lúcio Maia: buy Eventim ingresso first, eat at Bona from 18h30, show at 20h, out by 22h30 — Vila Madalena metro or Uber from Sumaré.
- Sold-out route Bona bar from 18h for dinner, then Baixo Augusta from 21h — Sumaré to Consolação is a 10-minute Uber, the strip runs all night.
- Weather bonus At 10% rain and 21°C, the walk from Vila Madalena metro to Bona is the most comfortable walk of the week. Use it — Rio is sitting at 65% rain tonight.
03
Still Going After 10 pm
Bona’s show runs to around 22h30. The Baixo Augusta strip runs all night.
D-Edge does not programme Tuesdays.
Wednesday June 3: Pablo Moura with Bruna Caram at Bona, 20h — buy tonight if you want Wednesday. Thursday June 4 at Blue Note SP: Emerson, Lake & Palmer Project – Tarkus 55 anos at 20h and 22h30.
Both on Eventim.
04
Getting Around
- Bona Vila Madalena on Linha 2 Verde, seven minutes on foot to R. Dr. Paulo Vieira 101. From Paulista or Consolação R$20–25 Uber. Surge is minimal on Tuesdays.
- Baixo Augusta Consolação on Linha 2 Verde is the entry point; the strip runs south toward Paraíso. From Bona R$10–15 Uber.
- Metro Tuesday metro runs full weekday service — last trains around 00h on Linha 2 Verde. Both Bona and Baixo Augusta are metro-accessible before midnight.
- Weather 21°C and 10% rain — the cleanest Tuesday night of the past two weeks. No poncho needed; the Bona walk from Vila Madalena metro is comfortable at this temperature.
- Surge Tuesday surge is minimal city-wide. The Bona post-show exit around 22h30 in Sumaré is the only predictable moment — order before leaving the building.
- Safety Sumaré at 22h is fine. Baixo Augusta on a Tuesday is busy and lit. Standard precautions on inner Bela Vista cross-streets after midnight.
05
Plan B
If Bona is sold out, the Baixo Augusta strip is the honest Plan B — bars between Consolação and Paraíso, no commitment. Bona’s own bar and kitchen from 18h is the Sumaré option without the concert ticket.
Across the bridge, Rio de Janeiro has Carioca da Gema (Lapa, 19h30) and Bip Bip choro (Copacabana, 20h) as its Tuesday picks — at 65% rain, both are indoor-only options. SP holds the better night on every count tonight: stronger single booking, cleaner weather, 10% versus 65% rain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Lúcio Maia and what is his connection to Nação Zumbi?
Lúcio Maia is a guitarist from Recife who co-founded Nação Zumbi in 1992 alongside Jorge Du Peixe, Alexandre Dengue, Toca Ogam and the late Chico Science. The band, together with Mundo Livre S/A, originated manguebeat — a movement that fused Recife’s maracatu and ciranda rhythms with rock, hip-hop and global music in the early 1990s and became one of the most important creative movements in Brazilian music history.
Lúcio played with the band for 30 years before departing in 2022. His second solo album “Lúcio Maia” (April 2026) is an instrumental record that draws on psychedelia, futurism, baião and reggae — a distinct artistic space from the band’s identity.
Is the Bona show likely to be sold out and should I buy now?
Yes, buy now. Bona’s 120-cap room for a booking of this profile — Lúcio Maia’s Recife legacy plus the strong press reception for the new album — fills before the night of the show.
The prior performance on this same tour at SESC Avenida Paulista sold out. Eventim is the only ticket channel; there is no walk-up for Bona shows.
If you go without a ticket, Bona is still open as a bar and kitchen from 18h, but the concert itself requires an Eventim ingresso.
