lapa's first jazz club was previously a home to brazilian actor joão
caetano and it was also the site to the 1884 murder of journalist
and abolitionist apulcro de castro by a group of servicemen
distraught by his public criticism of the then brazilian empire.
today, history continues to be made here in a more relaxed
atmosphere, and can be witnessed while enjoying lunch or dinner to
the sounds of live
jazz, chorinho
and samba-jazz.
