If You Only Go to One Place
Gafieira Rio Antigo at Rio Scenarium
If you only do one thing tonight, make it this. The antiques-filled mansion on Rua do Lavradio hosts Gafieira Rio Antigo tonight, Wednesday 8 July: doors and a free open ballroom-dance class at 7 pm, main show at 8 pm, with tickets from about R$30. The Gafieirando collective, led by saxophonist Daniela Spielmann and trumpeter Silvério Pontes with singer Alana Moraes, plays samba, choro, maxixe and baião made for dancing – and because there is a taught dance class first, it is the single easiest door in Rio for a newcomer to walk through alone tonight.
