If You Only Go to One Place
Samba na Fundição – Fundição Progresso, Lapa
If you only do ONE thing tonight, make it Thursday’s samba at this vast old foundry under the Lapa Arches: every Thursday the Fundição Progresso hosts the great voices of carioca samba, from 9 pm to 4 am at Rua dos Arcos 24. The Samba Independente dos Bons Costumes roda plays every Thursday, the crowd is young, local and welcoming to foreigners, and when the roda ends you are already in the middle of Lapa’s street party.
