Gloriosa Roda de Samba - Feira da Glória - Rio de Janeiro - Brazilian Music
#samba #riodejaneiro #rodadesamba
"Traditional Samba Circle in Glória Declared Cultural Heritage of Rio
The 'Gloriosa Roda de Samba' has taken place every 3rd Sunday of the month since 2005
The 'Gloriosa Roda de Samba'—as the gathering of musicians that has been taking place for nearly 20 years, every 3rd Sunday of the month in Glória (in central Rio), is popularly known—has officially become an Intangible Cultural Heritage of the City of Rio de Janeiro.
The initiative, enacted this Monday (April 29) and authored by City Councilors Luciana Boiteux (PSOL), Marcio Santos (PV), and Monica Benicio (PSOL), seeks to honor and celebrate the history revolving around the neighborhood and the samba circle itself. The circle began in 2005 as a gathering of a group of friends and eventually came to be visited monthly by renowned samba masters.
'It [Gloriosa] revived the joy of memorable *partido alto* sambas, which perfectly complement the charming and historic atmosphere of Glória. Today, it serves as a cultural and tourist attraction that also boosts the neighborhood's economic activity through its accompanying food and craft fair,' said Marcio Santos." - https://diariodorio.com/tradicional-roda-de-samba-da-gloria-e-declarada-patrimonio-cultural-do-rio/
"GLORIOSA is the traditional Samba Circle held every third Sunday of the month at the Glória Popular Fair Square. It is an initiative of the *Arteiros da Glória* Carnival Bloc, the musician PAULÃO 7 CORDAS, and the *Grupo de Samba da Mesa*. Upholding the traditions of days gone by, the Gloriosa Samba Circle features sambas by Candeia, Paulinho da Viola, Nelson Cavaquinho, Martinho da Vila, Zeca Pagodinho, Almir Guineto, Geraldo Pereira, Noel Rosa, among others. It is free to attend and always draws a great crowd." - https://www.sambando.com/as-10-rodas-de-samba-mais-tradicionais-do-rio-de-janeiro/

"This is the territory of Samba
The Samba Museum was born and is located in the most poetic and traditional stronghold of Rio samba, the Mangueira neighborhood, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro.
The site offers a rich and varied cultural and educational program, with permanent and seasonal exhibitions, musical, gastronomic and multimedia events.
It also has a Samba Documentation and Research Center and the largest heritage and audiovisual collection of its kind.
It is a place of memory, preservation and representation of Afro-Brazilian culture and its work led to the title of samba as Cultural Heritage of Brazil.
With a unique collection, the Museum currently has more than 45 thousand items. Our heritage education center is considered a reference. We carry out several actions that disseminate and promote the appreciation of samba, the main identity reference of the Brazilian people.
The Samba Museum was founded in 2001 as the Cartola Cultural Center by the grandchildren of Cartola and Dona Zica, leaders of the community where the institution is based, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, RJ.
Since 2007, it has been responsible for safeguarding the Rio de Janeiro Samba Matrices, registered as intangible heritage by IPHAN.
Recognized as a Reference Center for Documentation and Research on samba, the site seeks to promote the appreciation and dissemination of samba, and the human and social development of individuals in socially vulnerable situations through cultural activities, research, exhibitions, workshops, courses, heritage education, and collection generation.
It is located at the foot of the Mangueira Favela, a place that, despite being a world reference for being one of the birthplaces of samba, lacks public state policies, especially for children and young people – the institution's art and education program is recognized and awarded." - https://www.museudosamba.org.br/sobre-o-museu

Inside Vinicius de Moraes' House in Itapuã, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil - Brazilian Music History
#salvador #viniciusdemoraes #brazilianmusic
"The House
Casa Di Vina is the house where one of the great icons of Brazilian culture, Vinicius de Moraes, lived in Bahia. Delighted by the land diversity and inebriated with love for the actress Gessy Gesse, Vinicius moved to Itapuã in the early 70’s, living there a very inspired phase of his life. Preserved in its original architecture, the house today houses the Casa di Vina Memorial, open to the public, free, where objects, photos and documents of the couple’s history and of the poet’s little known passage by Bahia are exposed. During the visit one can also appreciate old sculptures and tiles by the artist Udo Knoff and the panel painted by Bel Borba in honor of Vinicius' friendship with the painter Calasans Neto.
...
BUMBUM POOL
Right at the entrance to the poet's house, visitors can admire a beautiful butt-shaped pool with colorful tiles painted by German ceramicist Udo Knoff. On the edge, visitors can touch and appreciate the exotic blue Macaúbas quartzite, a stone found only in the Bahian city of Macaúbas. This pool was renovated in 2024 with the support of Minas Gerais restorer Eliana Mello, the greatest Udo expert in Brazil.
VINICIUS
One of the great names of the Bossa Nova, Vinicius de Moraes composed the lyric of the song which was for some years the second most performed in the world, Garota de Ipanema. Vinicius was born in Rio in 1913, but certainly left this world in 1980 as a “Bahian”, leaving Brazilian culture an invaluable heritage. He lived a life of complete and impassioned abandonment as an incorrigible bohemian. He got married nine times and when asked by his friend Tom Jobim how many times he would get married, he said “as many as necessary”. About himself, he used to say felt like “in a labyrinth in search of a way out”. Searching this way he found in the magic of Itapuã a safe haven in the arms of Gesse, his divine home.
FRIENDS
In the 70s, the presence of Vinicius moviment even more the effervescent cultural scene of Salvador. The life and work of the poet were also enriched by the coexistence of friends like Jorge Amado, Dorival Caymmi, Batatinha, Calasans Neto, Auta Rosa, Carlos Bastos, Camafeu de Oxóssi, Nilda Spencer, Rubinho dos Carnavais, Olga de Alaketu, Walter Queiróz, among many other Bahians.
AFTERNOON IN ITAPUÃ
Toquinho says he found the poem ‘Tarde em Itapuã' still in Vina's typewriter. He asked to make music, but the poet refused because he wanted to give it to Caymmi. The night before his departure to São Paulo, he stole the lyrics from Vinicus returning to Bahia three days later with the music. He captivated the poet and together they sang throughout the world, the famous and magical beach of Itapuá. So many other famous songs, such as “Onde Anda Você” and “Tonga da Mironga do Kabuletê”, were composed that time." - https://lnkd.in/dC9kVpYd

"Cidade do Samba is a cultural hub and theme park about Carnival and Samba, with outdoor areas and covered buildings, located in an area of Gamboa that in days gone by was part of the port of Rio de Janeiro. exhibitions about carnival, costumes, floats and shows by samba schools can be seen.It was inaugurated in 2005 and in 2024 it will be completing almost 20 years.
Cidade do Samba is included in the revitalization project of the old port area of Rio de Janeiro
All over the world, there is a tendency to revitalize the old port areas that over the years and economic changes and urban transformations have emptied.
As there was a need to choose a place to build such a complex of oak woods, the area fit like a glove. But not only because of this fact. The place where it is installed is in the Gamboa neighborhood, an area of former occupation, and also a place strongly linked to the birth of samba.
Theme Park and Cultural Production Pole
Cidade do Samba is a recent tourist attraction in Rio de Janeiro. It is a thematic city, built in the port district by the City Hall, occupying an area of 114,000 square meters at Rua Rivadáva Corrêa 60, Gamboa district.
The objective of the Thematic City is to transform the activities of the Samba Schools into a permanent practice. It is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place for constant art production.
Above several photos of Cidade do Samba and its installations in the same image. We can see that the complex is large, formed by numerous sheds arranged around an uncovered area, where there are also attractions under tents and stalls. The covered areas are large, where numerous activities, concerts and events take place.
The City's design consists of geometric shapes with the workshops surrounding a main square.
The Samba Workshops
Giant gates measuring 10 meters wide and 7.5 meters high allow the passage of fully assembled floats.
On the highest floor with 2,700m², there are the style rooms, sewing workshops, rooms for creating ornaments, a place for lectures and a practical class (workshop) on modeling in polystyrene and fiberglass.
A freight elevator serves all floors.
Ceiling with 12 meters of span allow the floats to be assembled in full size.
Visitors can walk and see the factories/workshops through an appropriate path and see "in loco" the carnival production, through a counter 8 meters high.
Visitation, Shows and Cultural Production All Year Round
Throughout the year, it is possible to take samba (dance) classes and watch shows and carnival and drum shows, and depending on the schedule with dancers and flag bearers. Shows with dance and choreography can be organized giving a taste of the big party, composed of bright colors and exotic and dazzling costumes.
Venue also for Events
Interestingly, the city of samba was thought and planned also as a place with infrastructure to host events, fairs, exhibitions and seminars for companies. The organization of Cidade do Samba even offers event organizers an option to include one of the shows regularly offered to conventional visitors to culminate or be the "grand finale" of events and seminars. It is certainly a genuine and interesting idea, which closes a congress, event or seminar with a golden key and originality.
How to get to or go to Cidade do Samba
Cidade do Samba is located at Rua Rivadáva Corrêa n. 60, Gamboa neighborhood, Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro, in front of the British Cemetery.
The place has parking, and the entrance is on Av. Rodrigues Alvez, which is right in front of Armazem 11 at Cais do Porto. There is daily visitation and some shows that can be seen by appointment or reservations." -
Samba in Copacabana, Roda de Samba do Bip Bip, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Live Brazilian Music
#samba #brazilianmusic #riodejaneiro
"Samba and love at Bip Bip: the Argentine who rescued the last bohemian bar in Copacabana from sadness
Matías Bidart, an Argentine from Adrogué, is the one who maintains the legacy left by Alfredo Melo, or “Alfredinho de Bip Bip”, the creator of a bar in Rio de Janeiro. Mythic and tiny, the best musicians in Brazil have been passing through the place for 40 years, unseen.
Alfredo Jacinto Melo was 25 years old in December 1968, the year of social upheaval, revolutions, flowers and rifles, Vietnam, the Beatles, the nouvelle vague and Derrida. Alfredo still lived in Cosmos, a railway district in the western part of Rio de Janeiro, although he spent much of his life, especially on weekends, in an apartment he shared with friends in Copacabana, the heart of postmodernism in Rio de Janeiro.
...
It was a very small bar. It was called Bip Bip - dozens of hypotheses have been put forward over the years but no one will ever know the origin of that onomatopoeic name - and its owner, a Portuguese immigrant, only sold milkshakes and snacks. All half a block from the beach. All so Rio de Janeiro.
As would be the case throughout his life, beer appealed to him more than medicine (although beer WAS a medicine), so Alfredinho left the pharmacy plan, mingled with the regulars and toasted with them all night long.
Bip Bip was presented at that time as just another “boteco” of the thousands that are on almost every block in Rio de Janeiro. However, a destiny of minimal grandeur awaited it. Alfredo did not yet know that he would be the one to take it from everyday insignificance to the mythical reference point for the samba dancers of the new and old guards: a place of eternal youth.
That is, something much more than a bar: a meeting point and friendship, a social aid project, a space for poetry, political proclamation, homeless people and, of course, and above all, a refuge for the best musicians of popular music in Brazil to feel at home.
Alfredinho did not know this because that was still 15 years away. Melo, a socialist militant, faithful and practicing Christian and fan of Botafogo, worked during that intermediate period of the 70s in the financial world. Until he received a large commission for the sale of a plane, which allowed him to free himself from the shackles of the capitalist world and fulfill his dream: to buy the Bip Bip to meet up with his friends.
August 2012. Bip Bip is already a famous hideaway, one of those “best kept secrets” of Rio de Janeiro, the last link of the Carioca bohemian scene. The Argentine Matías Bidart has just begun his adventure in the city with a backpack, a guitar and a job in the kitchen of a hostel. Shortly after arriving, someone warns him that he has to visit Bip Bip: one day you could meet Cristina Buarque de Hollanda or Nana Vasconcelos.
That same day it was. And when he arrived he saw what everyone who ever set foot in Bip Bip saw: a tiny 18-square-meter establishment, with just three tables on top of each other, no door, no windows, a continuation of the street, and a very particular host, bearded and grumpy, sitting at a small table on the sidewalk, who wrote down on a sheet the beers that the musicians and clients took out of the refrigerator for personal consumption. A system that was in disuse, chaotic and based on the trust of “when you leave, you pay me everything.”
Matías also never imagined at that moment what would come next: his deep friendship with Alfredo, his death years later, just on a Carnival Saturday, and the enormous responsibility of keeping his legacy alive.
“That first time it was raining a lot. I arrived and saw Alfredo sitting at the door and only a couple, two Italians who were fascinated by the photos stuck on the wall. It was bossa nova Wednesday. A musician arrived immediately. But it was raining so much that no one else came,” Matías says.
The solitary musician looked at Matías’ guitar-playing nails and invited him to play. Without music, Bip Bip is like a still heart. Bidart, who had already seen figures like Milton Nascimento hugging Alfredinho in the portraits on the walls, resisted. He said no twice.
Alfredo’s gaze was pure pressure. Silence and credit cards are the only things prohibited at Bip Bip. So he grabbed “a disastrous guitar that was in the bar” and played everything he had learned at home in the southern suburbs. Alfredo looked him up and down. An Argentine playing bossa nova? He liked it. It was the spark of brotherhood. That morning, Melo and Bidart, a little drunk, lowered the bar’s shutters together. They would always do so from then on." - https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/2023/04/16/samba-y-amor-en-bip-bip-el-argentino-que-rescato-de-la-tristeza-al-ultimo-bar-de-la-bohemia-de-copacabana/

"The Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí is a purpose-built parade area built for the Rio Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The venue is also known as Passarela Professor Darcy Ribeiro or simply the Sambódromo in Portuguese or Sambadrome in English. Wikipedia" - Wikipedia
"The Sambadrome The Sambadrome Is Home to Rio's Carnival Samba Parades.
Brazilians are proud of their culture, which comes to the fore during Carnival, a time of festivity before the Lenten season. At the center of these celebrations is the Professor Darcy Ribeiro Sambadrome, home to the greatest show on Earth, Rio's Carnival.
Welcome to the Sambadrome The giant stadium designed by Oscar Niemeyer transforms into the stage for the world's greatest party for five nights during Carnival. The stadium was once a normal city street where parades were held until the concrete structures were built on both sides of Avenida Marquês de Sapucaí. The 700-meter-long catwalk is designated for grandstands and boxes on both sides.
On competition nights, the Sambadrome comes alive as samba schools parade down the catwalk singing and dancing to the deafening beat of the drums. By the end of their stint at Praça da Apoteose, the members are exhausted but hopeful that they have done enough to capture the judges’ attention and perhaps win the title. Packing the Sambadrome are 80,000 spectators, who come to support their favorite samba schools or simply to soak up the Carnival spirit. The stadium has been renovated in time for Carnival 2012, with more seating and facilities for the spectators’ convenience." - https://www.riocarnaval.org/pt/sambodromo/sambodromo

The Sound at Marques de Sapucaí: Practice Makes Perfect.
Visiting G.R.E.S. Acadêmicos do Grande Rio Samba School Shed, Samba City, Rio de Janeiro
Last week I was invited to visit Grande Rio's Shed at the Samba City during their "de-production" stage. This is when they dismantle all the structures they created for Rio's Carnaval Parade. It's also the time when they assess their work, evaluate the results, think about what went right and wrong, etc.
Rio's Carnaval is the biggest carnival party on the planet with around 2 million people taking the streets to celebrate.
"In 2023 it generated around 850 million dollars. A third of all money circulating in Brazil during the 4 days of Carnival comes from Rio de Janeiro city. 45 thousand people work officially at Rio's Carnaval." - Forbes (https://lnkd.in/ecshPCVu)
"Sound at Marquês de Sapucaí: practice makes perfect, by Miguel Sá, Revista Backstage, June 2020 (https://lnkd.in/eAdSx96J) (Google Translation)
The configuration of work at Rio de Janeiro's carnival may seem simple, but the system is complex. The feeling of simplicity comes from Gabisom's 19 years of practice at Marquês de Sapucaí.
The way of working, already established over these years, has no secret: in a first console, the signal screening is carried out. After sorting, the signal goes to the mixing board, where the timbres are adjusted and the three groups sent to the delay board are assembled, made with the voices, harmony and drums. In addition to the groups, a general mix is also sent to the table that does the delay and distribution.
If the way of working hasn't changed much during all these years, the equipment and practicality have changed. Due to advances in the technology of amplifiers, consoles and speakers, today there is a whole structure that allows only two AD / DA conversions in the entire path traveled by the signal. Remembering that there were more than ten at the beginning of Gabisom Sistemas de Som e Equipamentos Musicais's work, it is possible to measure well the benefits that the advancement of digital technology has brought to work with audio.
But if there's technology, there's also people. They are the ones who make the work really happen. And, from Peter Racy, who coordinates the work, to Mario Jorge in midfield between Liesa and Gabisom Sistemas de Som e Equipamentos Musicais, Marcos Possato in reception of the signal, Eder Moura in charge of digital distribution, Luiz Carlos T. Reis and Marcelo Saboia in mixing and Valtinho on delay, they are the ones who tell us how they make everything work.
