Thanks Seveen and Roots. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70459-hugs.gif[/img]

Rio really is a must-see place. Not only is it the most scenic metropolis that I've seen, but it has a character and the people are lively and friendly. Has a cool vibe to it.

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>About 3 hour drive East of Rio is where the Cariocas escape the already relaxed city life, for a more relaxed beach life.

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>The group is called Pagode do Exalta, check it out:</span>
Pagode do Exalta - Graça

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>And if you like it, listen to this:</span>
Pagode do Exalta - Magastar

Pagode do Exalta - Tchau E Bença


<span style='font-size: 14pt'>This is a pagode group giving a spontenous performance in front of one bar on a warm night. Anywhere in Brasil, there's live music playing somewhere at all times. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/music.gif[/img]

Right away the traffic in the boulevard stopped, and all the people started dancing in the street. Nobody was self concious at all. Old, young, pretty and not so pretty stopped what they were doing and started dancing to the music like there's no tomorrow. </span> [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]
