Things to do in Salvador, State of Bahia (BA): The Best Performances
Brazil's former capital is renowned for its African-influenced cuisine, music and architecture. Known as "the Capital of Joy," because of its exuberant week-long Carnaval celebrations, Salvador brims with contemporary music and art amid architecture that has gone untouched since the 17th century.

An unique experience watching this show last night in Salvador. Rhythms are breathtaking and are based on “Bahian” folkloric dances of African origin from the slaves times including Candomblé dances, capoeira (a form of martial arts) and samba. So much energy and stamina from the dancers and a must see if you ever get the chance.

This is a wow overwhelming experience. Thousands of people. Felt like millions. Dancing, singing, drinking... we were at a cammarote which made it safer... but even walking out afterward was a bit scary. There were tons of police- military and civil on the streets. A horrible smell of urine- the drunk men just pee anywhere... hot&humid... it's not an event for every one. It is special, it is great music and dance, the cammarote gives a good space to be in.

7. Sarau do MAB
The Sarau do MAB came from a small event called “Sarau do Piano”, created in 2017 in the Condominio Edificio Catarina Paraguassu Playground. The event sought the rescue of a very important musical tradition for Brazilian music and culture, which were its music sarais. The event has grown and today we are proudly promoting a new cultural space for jazz, classical and MPB performances and concerts.
