Carioca da Gema (meaning something like “carioca coming from the very yolk”) is a mecca of Samba. Located on the most eventful street of Lapa, this place is entirely dedicated to live music. Artists perform on a traditional stage and people dance samba just in front of them. The atmosphere is irresistible, as the samba music, which is the popular art of turning sorrow into joy. Not to miss, especially on weekends.
