Do you know Pedra do Sal in Rio de Janeiro? Do you know how to dance samba? How wouldΒ you feel about dancing samba in the place where itΒ was born?
Pedra do SalΒ is a small rock formation located at a square in Rio de Janeiro’s downtown area, close toΒ PraΓ§a MauΓ‘. This alley-likeΒ rock is also known as Little Africa. In the 17th century, the first African immigrants came fromΒ BahiaΒ andΒ settled there. It was originallyΒ a slave market, so this square naturally became home to the sounds of chorinho and samba, as the slaves sang songs about home.
Samba at Pedra do Sal in Rio de Janeiro

Β Pedra do SalΒ is where the firstΒ CariocaΒ Samba originated. It is where the early and most famousΒ sambistasΒ would perform their pieces. Today, everyΒ MondayΒ andΒ Friday, aΒ Roda de SambaΒ sets up around a table to sing classics to everybody there, making way to one of the most traditional and authentic nights out inΒ Rio de Janeiro.

We will danceΒ the night awayΒ while tasting a few snacks likeΒ Queijo CoalhoΒ (cheese on a stick),Β which is aΒ delicious Brazilian street food, and drinking a few cold beers or a traditionalΒ caipirinha.Β It’ll surely be amazing to enjoy this atmosphere where cariocas mix together with the rhythms ofΒ Samba.
