São Paulo Nightlife Tonight: Sophy Sings Marilyn Monroe, September 23, 2026

São Paulo · Nightlife

Tonight, Wednesday 23 September 2026, the jazz room on Avenida Paulista runs two sets and the forró floor in Pinheiros reopens. All times below are São Paulo time.

What’s On Tonight

Blue Note São Paulo lists two separate shows tonight. Opening at 8 p.m. is a tribute to 1980s Brazilian rock, played by the band Dr Nathan e Os Impacientes.

Marilyn Monroe was born in June 1926, and when this production played Blue Note Rio in August it was billed as marking her centenary. Sophy canta Marilyn Monroe starts at 10.30 p.m.

The singer Sophy revisits the songs associated with Monroe. The two sets are ticketed separately rather than as one evening.

The club’s own page flags the 8 p.m. set as down to its last tickets. The 10.30 p.m. set carries no label at all.

Prices do not appear on the club’s pages for either set. The figure shows up when you buy through its ticket link.

The room is on the second floor of the Conjunto Nacional, at Avenida Paulista 2073. Its second-floor box office opens only on show nights, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., and a ground-floor desk keeps daytime hours.

The Forró Floor Reopens

Canto da Ema in Pinheiros starts its week on Wednesdays. Its own page gives the floor as 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., while other listings say 8.30 p.m. to midnight.

The house page gives entry at R$44 (about US$9) full and R$22 (about US$4) for students on a Wednesday. Current listings guides quote R$55 (about US$11) and R$27 (about US$5), so carry the higher figure.

The house teaches a class from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., before the floor opens. Its own page prices that class at R$25 (about US$5), and a dance guide gives R$28 (about US$5).

One caution stands from earlier checks: the venue’s event listings are not current. Ring (11) 3813-4708 before you travel to Pinheiros.

Forró is a couples dance from the northeast of Brazil, and the floor here runs to it all night. We have its published hours rather than a confirmed band, so the hours are the plan and not the promise.

Two Sets, Two Tickets

The club sells its early and late sets as separate tickets, not as one evening. You pick a set, and the table you get depends on when you arrive rather than when you booked.

That is why the two sets carry different labels tonight. The 8 p.m. rock tribute is near the end of its tickets, while the late set is not.

Labels also move in both directions, as returns and released holds put seats back on sale. Read the status on the day you intend to go.

A show you wrote off as gone may be open again by the afternoon. The reverse happens too, so buy before you travel.

The Rest of the Week

On Thursday, Adriano Grineberg opens at 8 p.m. with a Ray Charles and BB King celebration. Walerie Gondim follows at 10.30 p.m., with a show dedicated to Gal Costa.

Friday is an Amy Winehouse tribute in reggae arrangements, led by Clariana, in two sets. Saturday brings Demônios da Garoa with a programme of classics and bossas.

Both Friday and Saturday already carry last-tickets labels. Sunday is a single early show, a Tim Maia tribute at 7 p.m.

Where to Go

Money and How Paying Works

We convert at R$5.1414 to one US dollar. That is the Banco Central PTAX closing sell rate published this afternoon, Wednesday 23 September.

The concession rate, called meia-entrada, is a legal half price for students and several other groups. Take identification if you intend to claim it.

Restaurants usually add a service charge of about 10 per cent, called serviço. Brazilian law makes it optional, and staff remove it if you ask.

What This Means for Your Evening

Tonight offers a genuine choice of two different evenings in one room. The 8 p.m. set suits dinner, and the late one runs past midnight.

For dancing rather than sitting, Pinheiros is the alternative. One telephone call before you leave protects that plan.

If you are planning the weekend instead, book it today. Friday and Saturday are both down to their last tickets.

Getting Home Safe

The 8 p.m. set finishes inside normal metro hours, which end at midnight. The 10.30 p.m. set will not, so plan a car if you take the late one.

Check the last train for your own line on the Metrô or ViaQuatro sites. The city’s emergency centre gives 13°C and drizzle for tonight, so take a jacket.

Faria Lima sits on Line 4, which a private operator runs. A floor that closes at 1 a.m. will outlast it, so plan a car from Pinheiros.

Avenida Paulista stays busy and well lit into the night. Wait for a rideshare on the avenue rather than on a side street.
