at any Bar or Pub or Restaurant: brazilian Beer

by pepples46

a Nite out without a Glas of Beer or Wine or whatever, brazilian Beer is very goodI like Brahma, one of the mayor Breweries in Brasil, Antartica has also a great following.smaller breweries are making their local beer tasty too, like Curitibanos in Curitiba/Parana...Polar in Porto Alegre/Rio Grande do Sulmake a trip to Blumenau in October, to the second biggest Beerfest in the world for a Beer on the Corner Pub...just casual.

Samba

by bbaron

We all went out to some area called Loppa (I think) and hung out eating and drinking. When we were walking to catch a cab, we heard this drum beat coming from a warehouse looking place. We decided to walk in and my jaw just dropped! 12-15 drummers were banging away with this most amazing sound. Everyone was dancing the samba! Drinking, dancing, and sweating. This was an amazing experience. I'm sure my dancing was entertainment for all the locals. Samba dancing is incredible. No one cared if you could dance or not, just having a good time. You could wear whatever you want, as little as possible.

Club Africa: Iracema Beach

by zappa66

This is a place where the waiters wear tuxedos and the women are as fashionable as any in Rio. Relatively inexpensive to drink there though. They have a disco dance floor, and the ladies willdance with each other if there are not enough men around! Clothes recommended.....jeans and sneakers probably out of place.

FANTASTIC RIO SCENARIUM: Night fun...........in Rio bars......

by peterman2

No....the only victym was that lady who was busy with so many icea cream in her mouth!!!!Kidding...we were having a great time in one of the most buccolic places in Rio de Janeiro, it will bring you back to many years ago where going out was an innocent event in their society!!!Great place, you should really go!And Rafael, my guide and good friend took me there! Dress code? What does it mean? Just feel confortable and go as you please!

Lively people: Late nights and great music

by acemj

Brazil is a country of passionate people who really know how to party. Their boundless energy may leave you groggy in the morning, but you're certain to have plenty of options that will keep you out at night. Be sure to seek out as many live music venues as possible to get a feel for the country's wonderful and innovative beat.

Copacabana Beach: Cruising the strip

by selfishman

The best time I had in Rio during Carnaval was cruising the strip meeting people and checking out the vendors. You can't go fifty yards without walking into a party with speakers piled up and people dancing in the streets spraying silly string everywhere.You could up and put some music on and within minutes have a crowd of people dancing.The people are incredibly friendly...most of them are trying to sell something but they also seem to have great pride in thier happiness.

Help!: Disco

by selfishman

Help was just like everything else in Brazil...Wild!A lot of tourists go there because it's right on the main drag.The night started out with a local band playing brazillian music and they were actually really good...got the energy going.Then the DJ came on and played everything from Trance to top 40's to Hip-Hop. In the beginning the place was packed with a bunch of tourist looking to get laid so the vibe was kinda weak but the later it got the more of those people left and the real party animals got into the groove.There were some incredible looking girls there, most of them were working but they were still cool to party with. And they all love to dance! Very casual...matter of fact ther were a few girls that wore nothing but a boa and body paint!!

LIKE TO DANCE VI-LUNDU

by janaina

The Lundu or Lundum was brought to Brazilby Bantu slaves from Angola.Still danced in Marajo Island,in the Amazon delta,the Lundun is very sensual,voluptous-rather lascivious really-couple's dance.It was highly popular in Brazil in the seventeenth and early eighteenth century.It was later replaced by the Maxixe(which was also considered scandalous..)and the Samba.

LIKE TO DANCE V-THE FAMOUS LAMBADA

by janaina

As famous as Samba,the word Lambada refers both to the rhythm-a fuse of Carimbo and Merengue-and to the dance,which incorporates elements of Forro,Samba,Merengue and Maxixe(the 19th century Brazilian dance which had a tremendous success in Europe).The dance is sexy,yes,but it's danced by all kinds of people,of all ages and sexes,without the "dirty" connotations given to it by very bad Hollywood movies :-((It's very graceful,fast paced,and believe me,when you have to move your feet and bodythat fast on the dance floor,the LAST thing on one's mind is sex!!Anyway,the rhythm originates in the Amazons,was later adopted by Bahians,who proceeded to create the steps..and the rest is history!
