The piano, instrumental, pagode rooms and a free DJ set in the courtyard offer intimate performances. Room tickets start at R$26 (US$5) online, or R$35 (US$7) at the door.
Canto da Ema, a classic forró house, also relights its dance floor for the midweek crowd. Live music starts around 8 pm, with no dance experience required. Tickets are R$55 (US$11) for the full evening or R$27 (US$5) for half.
CCBB São Paulo, after a Tuesday closure, reopens with free exhibitions until 8 pm, offering a cultural stop before or after the musical events. Meanwhile, the bars in Pinheiros and Vila Madalena remain lively until around 9 pm, especially following São Paulo's football team, Palmeiras, away match at 7 pm.
The night concludes with dance options, including forró at Canto da Ema, and a bar scene that stays busy midweek.
