Arcos de Lapa; Samba under its arches on a Friday night, when impromptu bands played in the streets, unforgettable!



Samba rehearsal (ensaios) at the famous Manguera. The band on the elevated stage had us on our feet all night!

This neighbor to our hostel played the accordion on most nights. Walking past his door after dinner and listening to his tunes were some of our most treasured Rio moments.
