Until Monday it has.... In Rio, every day is samba day!

A Monday, early this week, is also an opportunity to shake the skeleton and sambar.

Check out the samba wheels every Monday:

Labor Samba: A table on a table full of top musicians. The primacy of samba carioca is present to celebrate the worker. Under the leadership of the composer and singer Moacyr Luz, a timasse of instrumentalists sings classic “The Ronco da Cúíca” (João Bosco and Aldir Blanc), “Making Samba”, by Moacyr with Zeca Pagodinho, and “Inspiration Crazy”, by Moacyr with Wanderley Monteiro. The meeting always takes place in Clube Renaissance, a stronghold considered by those who understand the subject with barn of one of the best and most lively samba wheels in Rio. A meeting and resistance point, the stage of the struggle for the repair of the historical debt with the black people, in the Andaraí neighborhood. The opening of the gates takes place traditionally at 4:30 p.m. and samba begins to cheer up from 5 p.m. From the first sound of drums to chords of guitars, candies of artists who visit the site, the presentation of new talents and musical meetings of various rhythms. Almost 20 years old, the Labor Samba has recorded records and important music awards.

Pedra do Sal: One of the most well-known points in the city that needs to be in your script to unite music, dance and history. Despite being famous for samba, the wheels schedules now mix all the rhythms, strolling through hip-hop, pop and pagoda. You've certainly heard that Monday is samba day at Pedra do Sal, but do you know its history and its surroundings? The Pedra do Sal is a religious and historical monument of Afro-Brazilian culture. Since the 18th century, the region, known for its salt landing, has been densely inhabited by the black population. In the 19th and 20th centuries lived there, the “Baiana aunts”, dockers, capoeiras, and workers who performed other activities necessary for the operation of the city. The first candomblé terreiros of the city were founded in the vicinity of the Pedra do Sal, as well as the samba carioca and the first ranches and carnival cordões. The area is claimed as an urban quilombo, place of resistance and reference of Brazilian culture, celebrated at public parties and events. And it's not just Monday, Pedra do Sal has Friday to Monday programming!

In the repertoire, great successes of Arlindo Cruz as ‘Good apprentice’, ‘My place’ and, of course, the emblematic ‘The show has to continue’. In addition to own compositions, sambas of great names such as Dona Ivone Lara and Zeca Pagodinho.
