Brazil’s Dance, Music and Costumes: Ginga Tropical Night Show

  • A display of Samba in the style of Rio carnival

Ginga Tropical is a show that portrays, in a well-paced and highly energetic manner, many of Brazil’s most popular dances and rhythms, all of which are infused with African and indigenous influences. Samba (the dance featured in Rio’s world renowned Carnival), carnival costumes, capoeira (a dance style developed by the African slaves, that also doubles as a martial art!), forro, and other styles from practically all corners of this vast country are presented in a dynamic succession of music, costume and dance sketches.

The show is geared mainly for visitors who want to appreciate a general landscape of Brazilian music and dance, and the venue is a rather old and un-refurbished hall, where seating is movie-theater style.

You’ll be driven to a restaurant for dinner (dinner not included) in your private vehicle while your driver waits for you outside the restaurant, and then you’ll be driven to the theater. After the show, your driver will take you back to your hotel.
