Moacyr Luz's Monday afternoon roda at the Renascença Clube, which Time Out calls one of the city's last urban quilombos, is a carioca ritual now in its 21st year. A jury of 50 sambistas and critics put it second among all Rio rodas in 2026.

Good to know
- It was created for musicians on their day off, so it starts early: be there at 16:30 for a table near the roda.
- Buy the ticket on Sympla ahead on busy Mondays; the repertoire runs from Cartola to Zeca Pagodinho and the crowd sings along.
- Leave by ride-hailing booked in the official app rather than hailing a taxi on the street (FCDO advice).
