Key Points
Monday is Pedra do Sal night: the city’s most famous weekly roda runs free from 7pm on the historic stone steps in Saúde, in its 20th year in 2026.
Conditions are flawless — 28°C and a 0% rain chance, the clearest night of the month, ideal for the open-air roda.
Beco do Rato in Lapa runs Arlindinho’s “Arlindinho das Antigas” every Monday — Arlindo Cruz classics from his son, an indoor Lapa alternative.
Samba do Trabalhador, Moacyr Luz’s Monday institution, runs late afternoon to early evening at Clube Renascença in Andaraí — a neighbourhood-party roda.
