What’s On Tonight
Blue Note São Paulo lists tonight as Dori Caymmi, “Utopia”, with Danilo Caymmi as a special guest. The club runs it twice, at 20:00 and 22:30.
The two are brothers and both are composers and arrangers in their own right. Their father, Dorival Caymmi, is one of the founding figures of modern Brazilian song.
The club flagged the night as down to its last tickets when we opened its programme page on 12 September. That is a status rather than a fact, and it can change during the day.
Buy online before you travel rather than trying the door. The club lists the show on its own site, and the buy buttons hand off to Eventim. There is no separate checkout, so the two are one funnel rather than two channels.
The club does not publish prices on its programme index. Each show has its own page carrying the price, so take the figure from there.
The room is on the second floor of the Conjunto Nacional, at Avenida Paulista 2073. Its box office opens 19:00 to 23:00 from Wednesday to Saturday.
Tables are given out in arrival order rather than assigned when you book. Arriving near the start of the box-office window is the way to sit near the stage.
The Week Ahead
Tomorrow is a single early show rather than a double bill. Trem de 3 play at 19:00, with Carlos Malta, Jaques Morelenbaum and Marcelo Costa.
Tuesday brings Michelle Abu with “Qual é o Tambor” at 20:00, joined by Catto. The club takes Mondays off.
If you are planning further ahead, one date is already gone. The Flávio Venturini night on 16 September is marked as sold out on the club’s own page.
What We Could Not Confirm
Canto da Ema, the forró house in Pinheiros, publishes a Wednesday-to-Sunday week on its own site. We could not open its agenda page today, so we name no band and confirm no hours.
Forró is a couples dance from the northeast of Brazil. The house usually runs a beginners’ class before the floor opens, so ring (11) 2503-2915 before crossing town.
Casa de Francisca, in the historic centre, runs several rooms at once with separate shows and prices. We did not confirm tonight’s programme, so check its own listing before booking.

Money and How Paying Works
Any dollar figure here uses a rate of R$5.0918 to one US dollar. That is the Banco Central PTAX closing sell rate for Friday 11 September, the last business day before today.
Blue Note does not publish tonight’s prices on its index page. Take the figure from the individual show page rather than from any third-party listing.
Food and drink are charged separately from the ticket. A service charge, called serviço, is usually added at about 10 per cent and is optional under Brazilian law.
Getting Home Safe
The 20:00 set finishes well inside normal metro hours. The 22:30 set will not, so plan a car home if you take the late one.
Several metro lines have been running through Saturday night under an experimental scheme. Check your own line on the operator’s site rather than assuming it applies.
Avenida Paulista stays busy and well lit late into the evening. Wait for a rideshare on the avenue rather than on a side street.
