If You Only Go to One Place

Samba do Trabalhador at Clube Renascença

Monday looks quiet on paper, but Rio’s samba world is wide awake. Moacyr Luz’s Samba do Trabalhador has run every Monday for two decades at the Renascença Clube in Andaraí — gates from around 4:30 pm, samba from 5 pm. It is the most Carioca thing you can do on a Monday, and it’s cash-only, so come prepared.
