Ana Lucia's Birthday & Brahma Bar

Yesterday we went to this bar that Ana Lucia kept saying she wanted to go and we never did... Well, now it was her birthday so what could we do? XD
The "Bar Brahma" is a tradicional bar located in the historic center of Sao Paulo, preciselly in the corner of Sao Joao Avenue and Ipiranga Avenue, a very poetic place as it was already sang by Caetano Veloso, a well-known singer from the northeast of Brazil, upon his arrival in Sao Paulo in a song dedicated to the city: "Alguma coisa acontece no meu coração, que só quando cruza a Ipiranga e a avenida São João" ("Something happens inside my heart when I cross Ipiranda and Sao Joao avenue" - lousy unrhymed free translation).
Inside the bar there is always people playing samba and there are presentations at night, it can be music or stand-up comedy. The food is rich, we ate something that might resemble as jerkies and manioc... So good! It is always good to know about different interesting places to go! We had a really good time!

And of course, Caetano Veloso's "Sampa" (tender nickname of Sao Paulo):
