QUADRA DE DONA MARTA

For those who want to experience a Rio popular with the communities that make up the city's richness, the Quadra de Dona Marta, on weekend evenings, is a place not to be missed. At the foot of the peaceful community of Dona Marta, where Michael Jackson filmed one of his music videos amidst multicolored houses, a vast open space welcomes local dancers, young and old, who come to dance to the sound of Brazilian funk, pagoda and samba. A unique experience, as long as basic safety precautions are followed.
