What people say

Jasmine B

"Pagode da garagem- Every Saturday (Entry is free or you can give as much as you would like). In the break there is funk. Beco do Rato-Located in Lapa, a very well known and aesthetic pagode to go to. They often have famous groups playing. Samba Independente dos bons constumes- Also located in Lapa, this is actually my favourite pagode places to go to! "
