Concert halls Brésil Nordeste

The Teatro Miguel Santana hosts the Folkloric Ballet of Salvador where the spectator can feel the energy of the Bahian culture. One is close to the stage and the vibrations of the many dancers who alternate five choreographies illustrating with all the emotions the orixás of candomblé, the maculelê and the capoeira. The ballet, created in 1988, is the only company of its kind in Brazil, recognized by both the public and specialized critics!

The bloco was born on 2 July 1998. Symbolically, July 2 is the day of the independence of the state of Bahia, whose African heritage the bloco claims. This Afro-Brazilian musical procession makes its percussion ring out loudly in the streets of Pelourinho. African music is mixed with pop, electro and other rhythms. The aesthetics of the sounds of the dances and the costumes have been carefully worked out and improved by the creator of the Cortejo, Alberto Pitta, an artist-plastician immensely known and appreciated in Salvador.

This theater built in 1958 was reopened in 1993 after a restoration. It symbolizes the modernization of Salvador de Bahia in the 1950s and is perhaps one of its most emblematic elements and is worth a visit. Here, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia and Gilberto Gil began their careers in the 1960s. It is home to the Bahia Symphony Orchestra and the Castro Alves Ballet, both of which are renowned for their quality performances. The complex itself is a success. The aesthetics intended by the architect merge with its functionality.

The "bloco" Olodum is undoubtedly the most famous in Bahia, as it was immortalized by its participation in a video clip of Michael Jackson in the heart of Pelourinho. It is an extraordinary male percussion group that performs in many countries. They perform on Tuesdays (once or twice a month, more regular presentations in the summer) in the Pelourinho. If you want to feel the vibrant atmosphere of Salvador, don't miss it. In addition to musical and stage performances, Olodum takes care of and mentors young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods.

On the beach, at sunset, you can watch a capoeira demonstration, one of the most intense and authentic in Brazil. Unlike Pelourinho, where tourists are asked (sometimes forcefully) to pay for the demonstration of this Brazilian dance wrestling, here only the pleasure counts. The capoeiristas are here to please and to please themselves. One can attend, in this fairy-like setting, magnificent and impressive rodas of capoeiristas where the fighters link the gingas at an impressive speed.

Located in the historic centre of Fortaleza, the Cineteatro is a major landmark of the city. With its classical architecture, it is the repository of an important part of the history of the arts in the state of Ceará. A beautiful theatre in Art Nouveau style, the São Luiz underwent work in 2013-2014 and is now splendid. Theatre and cinema.

Be careful on the square in the evening, the place is in the middle of Fortaleza and at sunset the place empties, all shops close their doors. It is best to go there by taxi.

Almost 30 years ago, the barraca Chico do Carangueijo was one of the city's attractions. Things have not changed, the team has maintained the quality of its services. Every Thursday from 8pm locals and tourists gather in Praia do Futuro to listen to and dance the forró and eat crab. At 10pm it's time for a one man show with local comedians.

Warning: It is not advisable to walk on the beach at night, it is not safe. Arrive early and go directly to the restaurant. To go back, take a taxi

As in Rio, the carnival exists before and after the carnival. Outside of carnival, you can also enjoy the entertainment of one of the most traditional carnival groups in the Northeast. The Galo da Madrugada is a "bloco" or carnival group created in 1978. The group provides entertainment every Thursday in its headquarters with traditional music groups from Pernambuco, such as frevo, maracatu and regional folklore. A good option to vibrate to the rhythms of Pernambuco. Its carnival outings are followed by millions of people.
