Hi everyone!
Carnival is around the corner and here are some options for those who are already in the city!
On Monday, january 31st, just to chill out, check some old and important samba singers, musician and composers in Lapa. Dama da Noite, its the name of the bar, have a show of Wilson Moreira. He plays a kind of more melodic samba, not the ones played on the sambadrome by the samba schools. Dama da Noite is located at Ave. Gomes Freire, 773 – Lapa.
On Tuesday, february 1st, there will be a huge party in downtown for free! Old and historical Odeon Movie theather (whom belongs today to a cult movie chain of theaters), will have music, dance, poetry and movies (of course).
The party starts at 7 pm, on the square in front of the theater, with one of the oldest and most traditional street bloco, O Cordão do Bola Preta. After them, at 8 pm, a younger bloco, Rio Maracatu, plays, followed by the samba group called Capivara Ensaboada.
Inside the movie theater, at 8:30 pm, some short movies screening and poetry reading, until 9:30 pm, when Rio Maracatu hits the stage inside. Then, everyone goes back outside to party more with the shows of Bangalafumenga (another street bloco), Cordão da Bola Preta and DJ Jorge Luiz to finish the party. Odeon is located on Praça Floriano, 7 – Cinelândia. Get down at the subway station Cinelândia (direction north) and follow the signs with Odeon.
On Wednesday, february 2nd, the option is to head to Lapa again, and check two blocos parting on the Circo Voador. BLOCO QUIZOMBA and EMPOLGA ÀS 9 will make the party, mixing pop, rock and samba. The party starts at 10 PM and tickets cost R$ 12. The Circo Voador is just under the Lapa Arches, at ave. Mem de Sá.
Thursday, february 3rd, is almost carnival and is time to head for the real street blocos. So, my tip is to head downtown, more precisely to Praça Mauá and follow Escravos da Mauá (the mauá slaves). They have their own song, and the players are very good. They start by 7 PM, at Largo de S. Francisco da Prainha with rua Sacadura Cabral . to get there, take any bus that goes to the bus station (Rodoviária), and get down on Praça Mauá
all best, have fun, stay safe!

Carnival Schedule - its just an option, make yours!
Dear friends, I do not know if already I told this to you, but I am a party girl of cradle (my grandfather used to party during carnival in Belo Horizonte in years 20/30) and therefore, when this time of the year arrives, I’m already agitated...
only that in this year, I will have that to make an alternative programming, because I fell in the subway in December and got a ligament hurt in the left foot (uau, I felt like Romário now) and I’ll need to calm and to cure with physiotheraphy sessions. I Lighted then my script, but I will place also the heavy alternatives, in the case of mine little footie gets better more close to the party . The information on these and other blocks had been removed of the site http://www.samba-choro.com.br/carnaval/2005 , the best script of the street carnival, very good for those that can read portuguese!
Friday feb 04th
warm up /meeting of the English group - Taverna do Juca (Ave. Men de Sá, 65) in the Lapa, starting at 6h30 pm, look for the table I (Gabriela) booked. Later, around 9 PM, the thing is to go up to Santa Tereza and to go behind the Carmelitas bloco.
option heavy - after the Carmelitas, to go down Laranjeiras and to go to Concentra mas não sai, in the Bar Severyna. But it has rumors there that it does not go to be, when to roll the confirmation acknowledgment.
Saturday 05/02
option heavy – Cordão do Bola Preta, at 9 AM in the Cinelândia/ Municipal Theatre (Center). I won’t be able to go but, this is one of the most important bands playing during carnival. Who will be able to go, I recommends, is WONDERFUL!
option light - beach of ipanema from 10h and later coming back to north zone and going in Sorri prá Mim, at 4 PM in the bar Petisco da Vila in Vila Isabel. The idea is already to go ready to head for the night at sambodromo (yes, SAMBODROMO) and to see the schools of the group of Access A In this year, my favourites are two: Vizinha Faladeira (the Faladeira Neighbor) , therefore besides homaging our minister Gilberto Gil , is the school of my region of work - Gamboa, Saint Christ and adjacencias. Working in the foot of their slum, I feel myself of the community. The other one is União da Ilha (Union of the Island) , that after Vila Isabel, is who more deserves to come back to the special group.
sunday - 06/02
Sunday the party is in Ipanema. Beach from the hour that I wake up, because I want to be until the end in sambodromo, and starting at 2 PM., going to the bloco "Que merda é essa?" (what excrement I am this) , in the Bar Paz & Amor), R. Garcia D'Ávila (Ipanema). It serves as warm up for the Simpatia and to run away from initial hassle of the Simpatia. At 4 PM, starts Simpatia é Quase Amor (Affection is almost love), one of the biggest blocos in Ipanema.
Option heavy - to continue at ipanema and to go to the Empolga to the 9, at 9 PM, in posto 9 (Ipanema). Or to head in to the city center and to see super extreme the traditional Cacique de Ramos (Chieftain to it of Branches) , in the Av. Rio Branco with President Vargas (Center). Now, more heavy of heavyies is to buy in the hour tickets for sector 13 of sambodromo (more known as dispersion) to see Mangueira, Vila e Salgueiro and others leaving the avenue, just for fun.
Monday 07/02
hey! guess what! Beach of Ipanema per the morning (yes, I want to take off the delay not going to the beach all year! ). Later, route the cobal of the Humaitá to the Bloco da Segunda (Block of Second,) at 2 Pm. The website Samba e Choro says that due a supercapacity of the last years, the BS wont announce place, hour nor certain passage. Then the good thing is to go pra Cobal early and to wait taking beers and eating that one galeto sensational of there.
After that, to head copacabana and to see the ball of the Bip Bip, starts at 6 PM in rua Almirante Gonçalves, in Copacabana. They play old songs of carnival, a luxury!
option heavy - to head city and to see the Cacique de Ramos, from 8 PM, in the same place of sunday.
tuesday 08/02
beach of ipanema and the night, to go to sambodromo to see the group of the defeat, or better, group B.

option heavy - between the beach and sambodromo, to go in the Bloco da Ansiedade (Block of the Anxiety) , that concentrates at 3 PM, but only leaves to 6 Pm.. They leave the Mercadinho São José , in Laranjeiras and don’t play samba, but Frevo, from the northeast.

Up again in Rio
Hi!
Yes, I know I've been away for sometime, but now here I am with some update on what is going on in Rio!
Here is my sugestions for what is cool going on in the city!
Many foreigners comes to Rio looking for the funk parties, with all those Miami Bass inspired music, rappers singing about their sexual conquists and the girls with the smallest clothes I've seen...
Usually, these parties happens inside the favelas (slums), which has not been a cool place to be around these days. But on the next friday 10th - There will be a funk party in Lapa, at the Circo Voador - http://www.circovoador.com.br . The party is called HAPAX , and Tati Quebra-Barraco, Mr. Catra and Bateria da Grande Rio (drummers from a samba school) will play. Gates will be open by 10 PM Tickets cost R$20 . The Circo Voador is located on the heart of Lapa, below the arches.
On that same day, good options for those that want to discover the brazilian Rock n' roll. For those fans of a more melodic kind of tune, with good conections with samba, brazilian popular music, jazz, you must go to the Los Hermanos concert, in Canecão (near Rio Sul), on friday 10th / saturday 11th / sunday 12th. Even having and latin name, this 3 guys band was formed on the Catholic University patio, on the begining of the 90ies. To get to know more of them, here is their website - http://www.loshermanos.com.br. Shows starts around 10 PM and tickets are from R$ 30 to R$ 45.
The sugar loaf is also a place for some rock n'roll this weekend. Titãs, one of the oldest rock bands in Brasil (they have been on the market since the 80ies) will be playing on the project "Oi Noites Cariocas", at the Morro da Urca, on friday 10th and saturday 11th. Tickets with the tram ride included cost R$ 80. More info on the website - http://www.oinoitescariocas.com.br
Later on, more news about the Samba schools reharshals. Stay tuned!

Besides the film festival
Yes, I know that there is much more happening in town than this huge film festival! So, here are some things going on in Rio
- The samba clubs in Lapa: they are always a must go! I like expecially Carioca da Gema, Dama da Noite and Memórias do Rio. Carioca is at Ave. Men de Sá, two blocks from the big arches of lapa. The other two are on the same street, Av. Gomes Freire (thats the next street after Carioca da Gema, that crosses Ave. Men de Sá), if you turn left, there is Dama; if you choose make a right, a couple of blocks down, there is Memórias. All with good food, live music and people
- Also in Lapa (has anyone noticed how I love that area?), there is an amazing show tonight. I'm dying because I won't be able to go, since I've already plans for the night, and I had already seen this show twice. Lenine, a great composer and singer, will be performing at Circo Voador (just below the arches). He is from Pernambuco, but have lived in Rio all his life. Tickets R$ 24.
- On the south zone, check Casa da Matriz. No matter which party they have, is good, for those that like alternative music, which a good audience. More info on their website - www.casadamatriz.com.br
- the last one: Samba schools have already started their reharshals and choosing their songs for next year parade. For tonight, I'd reckon three: Mangueira (Rua Visconde de Niterói - Maracanã) / Salgueiro (Rua Silva Teles - Tijuca) / Vila Isabel (av. 28 de setembro - Vila Isabel) . Take a taxi and say you want to go to "quadra da Mangueira / Salgueiro / Vila Isabel". Tickets cost around R$ 10 - 20

What's up from mon 13th to sat 18th?
Hi!
To start, I'll post some events that will happen this week in Rio, at night. If you have any doubt or want other info, leave a comment.
monday - sep 13th
The best bet of the night is Orquestra Imperial. It is a big band formed by regular muscians, that during the week play with their bands. So, on their only day off - which is monday - they get together to play old sambas and romantic latino songs. Pay attention on the beautiful voices of Thalma de Freitas and Nina Becker, they are great! This all happens at http://www.ballroom.com.br, at Rua Humaitá, 110 - Humaitá (just after Botafogo). The show starts around 11 PM and tickets costs R$ 20
tuesday - sep 14th
For the night, try some bossa nova and jazz, at Centro Cultural Memórias do Rio (Ave. Gomes Freire, 289 - Lapa). Its starts at 6 PM and costs R$ 10.
wednesday sep 15th
DJ Marcelo Janot hosts an all brazilian music party in Leblon every wednesday - Identidade Musical - at Melt (Rua Rita Ludolf, 47). Costs R$ 25 and starts at 10 PM.
thursday - sep 16th
What about some black music? The Bukowski (Rua Paulino Fernandes, 7 - Botafogo) hosts the party Chá Preto Musical (Musical Black tea), with black music classicals like funk, soul, samba and rock. Costs R$ 8 and starts at 11 PM.
friday - sep 17th
I'm not a big fan of his, but 50 Cents will be playing in Rio on friday. He will be part of the Rio Rap Festival - www.riorapfestival.com.br Tickets cost around R$ 60 . The problem that the venue - Pier Mauá - may change during the week, due to problems with the loudeness of the sound and the lack of acoustic treatment on the place.
For those that want to see the real samba from Rio, the place to be is Carioca da Gema - www.barcariocadagema.com.br - friday is the night that Tereza Cristina and Grupo Semente perform. They are great! The house gets very crowded, so try to arrive as soon as possible. The venue opens at 6 PM and costs R$ 16
saturday - sep 18th
Every friday there is this very cool party at http://www.casadamatriz.com.br in Botafogo, called Brazooka. Once a month, the owners do a big edition of this party on their other club, in Lapa - http://www.teatroodisseia.com.br, called Superbrazooka. DJ Marcelo Janot play only brazilian music, going from samba, old bossa nova, brazilian pop music to the latest hip hop and rock from Brazil. And the live attraction will be the house Bloco - Empolga às 9. Its at Ave. Men de Sá, 66 - Lapa. Starts at 10 PM and costs R$ 16
BEST BET: Its hard to judge, but I have two favorites: Orquestra Imperial on monday and the Super Brazooka on saturday.
