SAMBA - MARANHÃO - IRELAND AND LOTS OF FUN IN LAPA

Carioca da Gema has always been our place for you to experience real samba, our national passion. Samba reminds the joy of living of our people and Samba reminds the our famous Carnaval, so every time when I want to show yo my guests what Samba really is...Carioca da Gema is the place where we go. This samba house is located in the heart of our most bohemian district, Lapa. Music is fantastic, the snacks are absolutely yummy and the drinks always at your disposal because the waiters are walking everythere in the tight little space that we have.

Yes!!! CARIOCA DA GEMA is so nice that many people go there and sometimes daincing can be a very interesting adventure!!! :)

But one night we had such a ball with our irish friends and guests Elaine, Joann and Charlote!!!

I AM VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE IRISH FRIENDS IN MY LIFE!!!:) Great happiness, great humour...so LONG LIFE TO IRELAND!!!!

My irish girls spend very few time in Rio and we are studying a way for a second visit now with more time and with more things to see in Brazil!!!

THAT NIGHT MARCONE AND ELAINE TRIED TO CREATE A MARAIRISH DANCE IN OUR SAMBA!!! :)))) Quite sensual as you can see in the video!!!

I explain, MARAIRISH it is a mixed of Maranhão (a state up north of Brazil) and IRISH style. maybe it can be a new World Style of Dancing!!!! Thanks to Marcone and Elaine, hahahaha :)))))

THAT WAS A GREAT NIGHT LAST AUGUST 2008!!!!
