Baile de Madureira: Charme Dance Party in Rio with Transfer

It started in the 1980s with a group of street vendors getting together on Saturday night to dance contemporary black music. It quickly became a local sensation with people from the suburbs and the favelas gathering in this authentic african-brazilian experience. And that is how the Baile de Charme de Madureira was born.

The Baile de Charme de Madureira is a unique experience that you have never witnessed before. A section of a street is closed and transformed into a dance hall for people to dance, sing and celebrate life.

They dance into a type of music called charme, that was created in the suburbs of Rio, and came out of the tremendous influence of African American Soul and Funk music and African Brazilian music. After you have danced the night away, we take you back to your hotel.
