Overview

Follow the voice of Priscila, a charming Carioca, who will lead you to one of the most famous beaches in the world, Ipanema beach. Starting from the best place in the city to watch the sunset, the "pedra do arpoador", you will learn about the origins and the musicians who invented Bossa Nova. During the walk you will hear that Priscila can not really sing, but she will try in a charming way to introduce you to some of the most famous Bossa Nova songs. The walk will take you to the Park of the Girl of Ipanema, where you will learn about the legend of the two brothers from the hill of Vidigal, who inspired Chico Duarte to write a song. Afterwards, you will learn more about the similarities between Bossa Nova and Samba, especially about the unique instruments. You will also discover the story of Tom Jombin while admiring his monument.

La belleza de lo tropical!
crismorelo20, 15-07-2020
Es un paraiso, la cultura, sus bailes, sus playas, nos quedamos cortos al conocer todo lo que nos ofrece este tours, la historia de bossanova, Santa Teresa y Rio imperial, tres magnificos lugares que nos llevan mas alla de la historia, este tour con Soundwalkrs lo ame y obvio lo compartiria con mas personas!
Calma y tranquilidad

Personalmente una de las sensaciones que mas busco es la tranquilidad y con este soundwalk me conecte con esto, tener la oportunidad conocer la cultura y llenarme de una música tranquila como lo es bossa nova vale la pena.
AL RITMO DE LA SAMBA, JAZZ & BOSSA-NOVA

Caminar por las maravillosas playas de Copacabana e Ipanema, e ir conociendo un poco de historia al ritmo de la música que logró un impacto a nivel mundial como lo fue el estilo Bossa-nova es algo espectacular!!!
Magic music

Latin dancer by heart and breed, I simply love these vibes and tender rythems, they make me become hyper-alive. Submerge yourself into this blood & bread for Brazilians
