So you need to hear the real deal Brazilian music --in context-- in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador de Bahia, but can’t speak a lick of Portuguese, know absolutely nobody there, and are maybe even a bit concerned about security after hearing that things could be almost as crazy as American cities? Then you could probably use a guide, and this where Chaz Chambers and MusicalGetaways.com, with his cadre of english speaking Brazilian guides, come in. Within one week you can go to Little Africa in Rio and enjoy an incredible samba circle at Pedro do Sal, experience the famous Viradouro Samba School with a hundred drummers and as many singers and dancers doing their insanely beautiful routines, go to a Candomble ceremony out in the favelas of Salvador—-overwhelming experiences— and then go to clubs in the Lapa district of Rio, and the Rio Vermelho neighborhood of Salvador, hearing all manner of samba, choro, and other authentic Brazilian sounds. Need to just enjoy a lazy afternoon at the beautiful beaches of Rio and Salvador? It’s there.
