If You Only Go to One Place
Roda de Samba da Pedra do Sal
If you do ONE thing tonight, make it this: the official roda has run every Monday for 20 years, 7 pm to midnight at Largo João da Baiana – open-air, free, on the very rock where samba was born, with 500-plus people singing every word. The legitimate roda plays here exclusively on Mondays (weather permitting), so tonight is literally the only night this week to catch the real thing.
