What you can expect
Experience an unforgettable night of authentic Brazilian culture in the heart of Salvador!
The evening begins with the electrifying energy of a real Capoeira Roda, where powerful movements, live music, and raw emotion come together in a way no staged performance can recreate. You’ll witness authentic capoeira played by local mestres, students, and practitioners who live this tradition every day.
Throughout the night, you’ll also experience:
- Live berimbau and traditional drumming
- The vibrant rhythms of samba
- Acrobatics, music, and cultural demonstrations
This is not a choreographed tourist show. It’s a genuine cultural immersion — spontaneous, vibrant, and deeply rooted in the traditions of Bahia. Every Roda is different, shaped by the energy of the musicians and players in the moment.
This experience is designed for you to watch, listen, and immerse yourself in our culture — not to take part in a capoeira lesson. You’ll have the opportunity to observe authentic Capoeira up close, appreciate its music and traditions, and feel the energy of a real Brazilian cultural gathering.
After the experience, we serve fresh fruit and create space for everyone to connect and share the energy of the night together!
Would you like to learn yourself? We also offer beginner-friendly Capoeira, Samba, Drum classes that you can book separately, including on the same day as Cultural Night, subject to availability. If your goal is to learn the movements and try first-hand, a class is the right experience for you!
Our Cultural Night is perfect for travellers looking for:
- Authentic local experiences
- Afro-Brazilian culture

- Meaningful cultural connection
