Banda de Ipanema has a lot of visibility for several reasons.
Tradition. tolerance, location, and a passionate commitment of organizers and regulars.
The prestigious band and the lack of a vocalist turns everyone into a participant.
Cariocas learn Carnaval songs since they are children.
Because of the cultural profile of Ipanema, this is an event where people of all ages get together to celebrate.
We are joined by fellow Brazilians from other States, and visitors from all over the world.
You will feel welcome and tempted to join the fun.
