  "account": "Sorriso Maroto, a Brazilian pagode group hailing from Rio de Janeiro, brought their music to Brasília on December 5th, 2026. The band is known for their romantic lyrics, melodic cavaquinho, and polished stage presence, appealing to a broad audience beyond traditional samba fans. Their discography includes popular hits like \"Assim Você Mata o Papai,\" \"Sinais,\" and \"Eu Vacilei, Mas Eu Te Amo,\" which have been party staples for over three decades.\n\nThe group's current tour, titled \"Sorriso Eu Gosto no Pagode,\" is an intimate, circle-based roda de samba project revisiting their classic songs. Scheduled for Brazil's federal capital, the performance took place at an open-air entertainment venue in Brasília's South Sports Club Sector. The area, near Lake Paranoá, is famous for hosting large concerts with a relaxed outdoor atmosphere.\n\nTicket sales for the event were managed through Ingresse, a popular Brazilian platform for concerts and festivals. Although official pricing was not confirmed, estimates ranged from R$80 to R$385 (approximately US$15 to US$73), depending on the ticket batch and sector. Visitors were advised to purchase tickets directly from the official vendor to avoid reselling markups or invalid tickets.\n\nThe Brasília event is part of a national tour with over 10 events, making it an ideal introduction to a musical style that dominates Brazilian social life. Audiences can expect a crowd that enthusiastically sings along and a casual dress code suitable for Brasília's warm December evenings. As Brasília is a planned city with modernist architecture, nearby attractions include the Cathedral, National Congress, and JK Memorial. Visitors should be prepared for possible afternoon showers and warm evenings, with casual clothing recommended.",
