Rio’s beachfront kiosk Coisas de Bamba turns one with a live samba night featuring Moacyr Luz on April 15, starting at 7 PM in Copacabana.
One year after opening on the famous Copacabana boardwalk, Quiosque Coisas de Bamba marks its first anniversary the way it knows best: with live samba, Brazilian food, and an ocean breeze. The celebration takes place on April 15, from 7 PM, featuring the house samba group and a special appearance by Moacyr Luz, one of Brazil’s most celebrated samba artists.
A new landmark on Avenida Atlântica
Since its opening, Coisas de Bamba has grown into a beloved gathering spot for locals, tourists, and fans of Brazilian popular music. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the kiosk stands as a democratic cultural space on Avenida Atlântica — one of the world’s most iconic seafront avenues.
The venue’s identity is clear from the moment you arrive. Two life-size statues greet visitors at the entrance, paying tribute to samba legends Martinho da Vila and Moacyr Luz. Having Luz perform on the anniversary night gives the celebration a deeply meaningful touch.
New menu items for the occasion
To mark the milestone, the kiosk unveils new additions to its menu. True to its roots, the food offering highlights Brazilian cuisine with sharing plates, traditional bar snacks, and refreshing cocktails — perfectly suited to a night by the sea.
The anniversary event brings together everything Coisas de Bamba stands for: music, food, and the authentic Rio de Janeiro way of life against one of the planet’s most stunning backdrops. A full house is expected, welcoming regulars and first-time visitors alike.
