Carnaval 2012 Bal Masque

The centrally located Brazilian bar celebrates the Rio Carnival in style. While the samba parade is known all over the world, they say, it's really the hundreds of local 'balls' that are favourites of Rio insiders. Guanabara will be recreating their atmosphere with live music from Paraiso Samba School and dancers on the stage, while DJ Limao keeps the samba marathon running on the decks till late. DC: Masks. [NB: They're celebrating Carnival for the entire week here, so check out their other events every night of the week via the website).
